Request: iso of ArchLinux contains a certain version of archinstall - update the app

[arcolinuxz]

Is there are already an option in the tool the get the last version of archinstall from github?

So basically can we update archinstall via an easy selection. It will help development and betatesters for sure.

Hoping that there is already an easy way...

You could download the CI build isos from actions to get an ISO of any commit. It's also in the readme how to test a development branch of archinstall

It would really be a good one, it would make it a lot easier!

Well, for development ISOs, we have https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/actions/workflows/iso-build.yaml

And if you have an old ISO, you can use pacman -S archinstall to pull in the latest package.

I'm not sure we need a menu option to update archinstall.

You can download the ISO file for any one individual commit.

I would say updating the app inside the app is not a good idea. Handling references to installed versions may be quite difficult especially all different ways archinstall can be installed (pip, archinstall, github etc.)
