Don't mind me, just read. 1-3 is about the Obarun installation process. I hope the formating is ok.
1: The options to select UTC or localtime.
2: Disabling of default services, hwclock in this case.
Sure, I can switch to localtime and then fix my BIOS time. It would be nice if I didn't have to.
Afterwards I don't see any point in the service hwclock. Nice if I could set these during install.
Of course, I could switch to a different tty. But at what point in time during install?
When would be a safe time to switch over n edit s6/66 files? Crit files in the mountpoints?
Sure I could experiment, or try harder, or maybe use a fake AUR PKGBUILD to break install (a similar trick I used to use with Ubuntu to break
installation so I could wurk from a fresh unpolluted base install).
Perhaps a switchable (ie --nobreaks --beerbreaks params) on obarun-install. Perhaps breaks between 'base' 'base-devel' 'base-obarun' etc.
Not sure when the best times would be, but it would be nice to have the option.
3: More control over user creation. Not everyone likes zsh.
Again, fixable. Just a conveniency. Get mad at myself when I forget 'cause I mutitask a bit and a reboot-update-chroot cycle is a waste of time.
4: It's Cristmas AND my birthday. I want script-fu.
What im thinking about here is some scripting that takes all updatable packages and verifies that Obarun repositories have the higher version number when doing an -Syu. Some pacman-db magic might be needed, I simply haven't gotten around to playing yet. Too much wurk, and my scripting is weak. Perhaps the wrapper could even cover -S.
Maybe using a wrapper is bad. Probly. Some db magic would be better. Some kind of 'check-all before you install or update' kind of thing.
Could even be useful during obarun-install; I remember one time I had a package from the wrong repo 'cause Obarun was a day behind. All sorts of probs.

Unless U like to read this was all word-salad. Thanks for your time iff u did read, n i will check this post again so feel free to shout back.
