why the FUCK did i think making an init selector was a good idea
artix themselves dont even ship services in their online installer
they just give you a bare system and say "figure it out" and
it WORKS because people can just install their init of choice
afterwards. but nooooo i had to be clever and build a whole
netinstall-add monstrosity with openrc/runit/s6 service groups
that broke constantly because basestrap --overwrite is a lie
and init packages conflict with each other and sddm-openrc +
lightdm-openrc both Provide: init-displaymanager and pacman
just goes 🖕 during install.
so anyway. dinit only now. you want something else? read
changing-init.md, i literally copied the artix wiki tutorial.
i am not maintaining four init service groups in netinstall.yaml
for the rest of my life. this is my villain origin story.
actual changes:
- ripped out offline calamares mode (was never truly offline)
- ripped out packagechooser.conf (good fucking riddance)
- added packagechooser_dm.conf so you can at least pick your DM
- added BYODE offline installer (bare system + btrfs + snapper,
no DE, you pacman -Sy plasma-meta yourself)
- added yay + snapper + btrfs-progs to rootfs
- shoved Init Services + DM groups into netinstall.yaml (dinit
only, obviously)
- updated every markdown file that mentioned another init like
they were cursed (they were)
- wrote changing-init.md so i can just paste the link next time
someone asks
- X-KDE-IsAdminApplication=true so KDE stops acting like
calamares is a virus (its not, its just desperate)

## PKGBUILD notes
|
|
|
|
### calamares
|
|
|
|
- `_skip_modules` includes `dracut`, `initramfs`, `initramfscfg` — these are systemd-holdovers not needed on Artix (uses mkinitcpio)
|
|
- **`-DCMAKE_DISTRIBUTION_NAME` is a no-op** — Calamares ignores it completely. The "for \<distro\>" text in the about dialog comes from `versionedName` in the active branding component at runtime. Do NOT add this flag.
|
|
|
|
### calamares-branding-antergos-next
|
|
|
|
- Ships `calamares-next.sh` — the launcher script that presents the mode picker and manages config switching
|
|
- `packagechooser.conf` provides a DM-only fallback for standalone use
|
|
- `SetConfig()` must `rm -f` the symlink at `/etc/calamares/settings.conf` before copying, otherwise `cp` follows the symlink and overwrites the wrong file
|
|
|
|
### pipewire (forked)
|
|
|
|
- Ships `pipewire.desktop` at `/etc/xdg/autostart/` so both offline and online installs get the XDG autostart entry
|
|
- Patches `artix-pipewire-launcher`: changes `dinit|openrc) SUPPORT=''` to `dinit|runit|s6) SUPPORT='YES'`. Without this, the launcher silently exits on dinit systems and pipewire never starts.
|
|
- Also modifies `dinit|runit|s6) SUPPORT='YES'` line handling to include dinit in the regex
|
|
|
|
### antergos-sddm-theme
|
|
|
|
- Ships `theme.conf` at `/etc/sddm.conf.d/theme.conf` with `[Theme]\nCurrent=antergos`
|
|
- SDDM reads `conf.d` files in alphabetical order. Since `theme.conf` sorts after `kde_settings.conf` (from KDE's SDDM KCM), its `Current=antergos` wins
|
|
- The theme directory must be named to match `componentName` in the theme descriptor (`antergos`)
|
|
|
|
### antergos-wallpapers
|
|
|
|
- Installs to `/usr/share/wallpapers/antergos-wallpaper/contents/images/` with `metadata.desktop` for KDE picker support
|
|
- Also available at `/usr/share/backgrounds/antergos/` for other DEs
|
|
- Ships three wallpapers: original Antergos PNG (default), Adwaita Morning, and antergos-darkest-hour
|
|
|

## File conflicts
|
|
|
|
| Package 1 | Package 2 | File | Resolution |
|
|
|-----------|-----------|------|------------|
|
|
| `calamares` | `calamares-branding-antergos-next` | `/usr/share/calamares/branding/default/branding.desc`, `show.qml` | `--overwrite='*'` in `./buildiso` |
|
|
| `filesystem` | `antergos-release` | `/usr/lib/os-release` | `antergos-release` in basestrap operations list (uses `--overwrite`) |
|
|
|
|
## Build system
|
|
|
|
Packages are built and published via CI in the `antergos-packages` repo. Build order is defined in `packages.yaml`. AUR packages (`yay`, `downgrade`) are included with retry logic for transient clone failures. The package index (`index.db`, `index.files`) is generated with timestamps in Europe/Berlin timezone.
