[Dev] ISO release 2013-03 and related issues

I released a test ISO: http://alfplayer.com.ar/parabola/iso-testing/2013.03.14/

Because Arch and Parabola don't have a short, easy to follow, official and self-contained installation guide for newbies, I removed the Installation Guide file install.txt, and added lynx (4.5 MB uncompressed) and network.html (richer formatting, much easier to read), only to show how to connect to the internet. The user can then open an online installation guide from inside lynx.

I'll try to add a motd like this before the release: http://i.imgur.com/J7osF9d.png

I created a new git repo parabolaiso.git on Projects that replaces parabola-archiso.git. Now it's fully rebranded, and includes a "rebrand" branch to isolate the rebranding for easier merging from Arch.

Branches of parabolaiso.git:
* rebrand: archiso.git plus Parabola rebranding. It's possible to create similar branches for other ISOs (different rebrandings).
* master: rebrand branch plus Parabola customizations. It will be the source for the package parabolaiso (also renamed).
* portable: Portable branch of master, so build.sh can run without installing parabolaiso. Package dependencies must be installed to use it.


Related issues.


* GPG keys for pacman

Upgrades of parabola-keyring are too verbose now. Do we avoid using any kind of master keys? To do this, we would remove parabola-keyring. To install a package by a packager which is not on the keyring, the user would download the key from a public key server (pacman can do this), verify the key and sign it (using pacman-key).


* Enable [pcr] by default?

I wrote a script to test how updated it is.

cd aur-mirror.git

expac -S '%r/%n %v %b %p' -t '%F %T %z' | grep -E '^pcr' | cut -b 5- | while IFS= read -r line
do
  set -- ${line}
  if [[ -e ${1}/PKGBUILD ]] ; then
    # Skip plowshare because its pkgver is too long
    [[ ${1} =~ plowshare ]] && continue     # plowshare $pkgver is too long
    source ${1}/PKGBUILD && [[ "${2}" < "${pkgver}-${pkgrel}" ]] && {
      printf "%-40s%15s   %-20s   %-50s\n" "${1}" "${2}" "${3} ${4} ${5}" "${*: 6}"
      date="$(git log -1 --format='%ci' -- "${1}/PKGBUILD")"
      printf "%-40s%15s   %-50s\n" "${pkgname}" "${pkgver}-${pkgrel}" "${date}"
      echo --
    }
  else
    echo "${1} is not in AUR"
    echo --
  fi
done

The output of the command (a few things removed) is on the attached file.


* Enable [java] by default?

lukeshu suggested enabling it. Can't it be merged in [pcr] to avoid another repo?
