I am trying to create an ISO using the archiso tool, but it keeps failing. I have previously done the same thing in 2018 and 2019 without problems. Is it a bug? Since I couldn’t figure out how to post on their forums despite logging in (no button 
), I created a bug report at https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/66835. Just wanted to know if any of the developers of EndeavourOS is facing a similar problem while creating an ISO for release.
Thank you in advance!
Well, try creating target repository in your own space. I think it will help a lot.
Something like:
$ cp -r /usr/share/archiso/configs/releng ~/archlive
$ ~ cd archlive/
$ ~/archlive ls
airootfs efiboot mkinitcpio.conf pacman.conf
build.sh isolinux packages.x86_64 syslinux
$ ~/archlive sudo ./build.sh -v
Remember that ~ is a shortcut for /home/YourUsername/
Here is a screenshot with zsh-powerlevel-10k.
And it works:

Screenshot?
The directory names that archiso generates (through other tools like mkarchiso, pacstrap, pacman, etc.) are incompatible with NTFS. A user on reddit helped figure this out: https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/gt9gjo/archiso_is_nonfunctional/
Why NTFS? It will never be 100% supported by linux kernel…
Well, anyway…
Have a good day 
My HDD is shared with Windows. Only the OS partitions are separate.
You’ll run into troubles, sooner or later. NTFS is not meant to host linux files.
Can somebody port this over to the WIKI?
Like a complete step by step guide?
Would highly appreciate that!
