Bug 67772 – Building an uclibc/hardened LiveCD metabug

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Release Media

[Description Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) 2004-10-16 05:42:12 UTC]

This is a tracker bug for all issues I encounter while building an uclibc/hardened LiveCD for the GNAP project.

[Comment 1 Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) 2004-10-16 05:47:18 UTC]

bug 60862 : Problems in Genkernel hardened support
Patch submitted to disable dietlibc and to optionally build without udev on 2.6 kernels
Workaround: use 3.0.2g + patch

[Comment 2 Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) 2004-10-16 05:50:41 UTC]

squashfs is not included in hardened-dev-sources (no bug)
Patch should have been included by tseng but not released yet.
Workaround: use Catalyst patch posted on bug 66748

[Comment 3 Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) 2004-10-16 05:52:31 UTC]

Bug 67374: bad return codes in Catalyst
Fixed in CVS, not released yet.
Workaround: use patch posted on bug 67374

Bug 67654: NTP does not build on default uclibc profiles
If you don't have a USE=ipv6 uclibc NTP won't build.
Workaround: Build uclibc with USE=ipv6 (not tested yet)

Bug 61187: openvpn does not build on uclibc platforms
i386-pc-linux-uclibc needs updated config.* files.
Workaround : use corrected ebuild from bug.

[Comment 6 Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) 2004-10-16 05:57:27 UTC]

Bug 67660: iftop does not build on uclibc platforms
i386-pc-linux-uclibc needs updated config.* files.
Workaround : use corrected ebuild from bug.

[Comment 7 Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) 2004-10-16 06:01:20 UTC]

Bug 67764: hwsetup/kudzu-knoppix/newt/slang dependency fatal to uclibc LiveCDs
newt and latest slang do not compile under uclibc (bug 67666 was posted to track the slang-glibc dependency problem). They are brought in by hwsetup, which doesn't really need all kudzu-knoppix to work.
Workaround: use the livecd-enabled kudzu-knoppix ebuild from bug (not tested)

Re: comment #5 (InCVS)

[Comment 9 Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) 2004-10-18 05:58:19 UTC]

Comments #2 #5 #6 #7 fixed, workarounds no longer needed.
livecd-stage1 successful, thanks everyone.

livecd-stage2 blocked at devfsd because genkernel's devfsd does not include devfsd-1.3.25-no-nis.patch... Looking how to work around this to complete livecd-stage2.

[Comment 10 Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) 2004-10-21 02:26:10 UTC]

Bug 68366 : missing virtual in uclibc profiles
virtual/dev-manager is not defined, so devfsd is missing in the resulting stage3.
Workaround: add this virtual to uclibc/virtuals in a portage overlay.

Comments #1 and #9 should be fixed in genkernel>=3.0.2q, yet to be released.

everything on this bug solved?

[Comment 12 Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) 2005-01-30 11:09:46 UTC]

Yes all done, thanks.
