Hi all,
Just an update, the Arch Linux version of allstar has been stable for 2 weeks now on the repeater VK2RCZ.
If you are happy to compile the allstar code, I have updated my modified version to https://github.com/anthcp/Arch-allstar.
You may still have to fine tune the makefiles like add a symlink for the ar library but it does show the code changes....
We will make a  Live CD in the future sometime....

Regards

Anthony, VK2ACP
