Any plans for Arch Linux ?

@thebitstick base/archlinux seems to be the official one, as far as I can tell, however, it's quite old, the latest tag is 2015.06.01.

pritunl/archlinux seems to be the second most popular Arch distribution on the hub, and it's receiving frequent updates, but it's from a third party.

I use the pritunl/archlinux version, since base/archlinux tends to break a bit after a pacman -Syu, that's why the installer script has an intricate dance of which packages to install when, at the "system upgrade" stage. However, you can use the base/archlinux version as well, since the script does fix the stuff that breaks after an upgrade.

Hi,

The installer supports installing Arch Linux, however, the provided global hook script can only process DEB/RPM-based distributions at this time.

I've already started playing around with adding pacman support for the script, it should come soon.

I've added support for Arch Linux in 6b5ba7d. I've tested it against both base/archlinux and pritunl/archlinux.

@RoliSoft Which is more stable?
