Could i make artix work with some custom system daemon i wrote my self or do i need to use something like slackware for that?

I’m having a dude right now

The exclude function is also very tricky.. I wasted an half hour and found out that a list of dir like {“dir1”, “dir2”} is not working but defining every directory as a single parameter works.. Maybe it’s a bug.

–exclude={dir1,dir2}?

Nope, you have to exclude each directory in a different flag

bash expands those to two arguments

that’s why i’m asking, without the equals sign it doesn’t work

It considers it as a single word?

Yep it definitely works

Doesn’t work on ash tho 😢

it works on execline 😎

kind of

Not working.. But funny is at one script it works on another not

Need to check again but yes, I think I used =

I played around with it for 30 minutes and then was getting crazy

Because on one script it worked and on a new one it did not

I saw on the dry run verbose that the directories were still included

With slash, with Asterix, without.. Absolute, relative.. Everything

But I’m not stupid and so I knew the path are correct.. Then used for each directory a single parameter and it worked fine.

Why can’t you?

dont all the iso’s come with a pid1 program?

Oh, I understood “system daemon” wrong. In this case it can be a hassle

Exclusions are always relative

Why can’t you?

Same question again

so i can just take one of the isos and change the pid1 and the boot will still work?

You can just point your kernel to another binary or overwrite the symlink 🤷‍♂

ah nice

so then why the other gent say it can be a pain

So why are you asking in the first place?

because im not sure?

Well, when you write a software you are supposed to at least know how to launch it
If it is only an init you make your kernel point to it and make it compatible to whatever service manager you want and if it is only a service manager your make it so it can be launched by your selected init 🤷‍♂

Welp, time to use tcc

Like how good of a replacement is tcc when compared to gcc?
