Description mark lybarger 2005-04-13 03:40:49 UTC
the examples provided with catalyst are out of date.  specifically, the grp spec file lists things like xfree, and gentoo-dev-sources which are no longer in portage. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge catalyst
2. get portage snapshot (catalyst -f snapshot.spec)
3. attempt grp build using example spec file (catalyst -f example-grp.spec)
4. package not found in portage message.



Expected Results:  
i would expect the examples to be current and contain only packages that are in
the portage system, not the portage system of a year ago.

I am releasing catalyst 1.1.9 in a few days which does not have any examples, but instead relies on dev-util/livecd-specs and dev-util/livecd-kconfigs to provide examples by giving the user the real configuration used for our releases.
Comment 2 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-04-14 19:24:21 UTC
OK... I lied... I decided to not only do what I said before, but I also updated the example specs so people can use them as documentation.
Comment 3 mark lybarger 2005-04-15 06:24:31 UTC
so, if you're updating the example specs, should this be marked as fixed/closed?
Comment 4 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-04-15 07:37:44 UTC
Sure
Comment 5 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-04-15 07:38:00 UTC
And resolved...
