# SystemRescueCd
## Project website
Homepage: http://www.system-rescue-cd.org/
## Project sources
This git repository contains SystemRescueCd sources files. This is based on
https://git.archlinux.org/archiso.git
## Building SystemRescueCd
SystemRescueCd can be built for x86_64 or i686 architectures. It must be built
on archlinux if you want to build a 64bit edition, or archlinux32 if you want
to create a 32bit edition. The following packages must be installed on the
build system: archiso, grub, mtools. The archiso package must be modified to
add support for an option which allows to optimize the squashfs compression.
The patch can be found in the "patches" folder in this git repository.
The package list contains packages which are not part of the official binary
package repositories. These packages need to be built from sources from the AUR
website. These sources are made of at least a PKGBUILD file and quite often
other related files, such as patches. These can be built using the makepkg
command which generates binary packages. These binary packages must be copied to
a custom package repository which can be hosted locally using httpd or nginx.
The repo-add command must be used to generate the repository package index.
The pacman.conf file must be updated with the address of this repository so
custom packages can be accessed.
The build process can be started by running the build.sh script. It will create
a large "work" sub-directory and the ISO file will be written in the "out"
sub-directory.
