Bug 13064 – incorrect GRP isntall information in guide online

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: [OLD] Docs-user

[Description Mark Guertin 2003-01-01 20:48:50 UTC]

Code listing 7.3: Getting ready for GRP

# install -d /mnt/gentoo/usr/portage/packages
# mount --bind /mnt/cdrom/gentoo/packages /mnt/gentoo/usr/portage/packages

This above is not needed at all for proper GRP installation methods (described
below).

Section 15: GRP Install probably needs a rewrite.  For things to work properly
installation needs to be done through the included grp-install.sh file, I'll
detail usage here:

First you will need to cd to the location of the packages directory, for the
live CD you should find it at /mnt/cdrom/gentoo/packages.  In that directory you
will find grp-install.sh script, an All directory (holding all the binary
packages) and a list of available GRP packages.  To install any/all of these
package sets you should do the following:

sh grp-install.sh <list of package lists>  , where list of package lists are any
of the *-list.txt files found in the same directory.  An example would be: sh
grp-install.sh kde-list.txt mozilla-list.txt (this will install kde, mozilla and
all the dependancies it needs to run).  grp-install.sh may be run multiple times
if desired and will not replaced exiting installations.

There are currently open bugs on this that may result in rc2 not being able to
do proper GRP installations, but either way around the methods described
currently will not work as expected.

sorry, should have mentioned that this is with the brand new 1.4_rc2
installation guide and should probably get updated asap

[Comment 2 Mark Guertin 2003-01-01 20:56:44 UTC]

Also worth a mention that I forgot is that you can run just sh grp-install.sh
for a basic usage descrption as well

The changes are now live on the web. Thanks for the heads up.

I still see old version of doc? 
 
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-install.xml 
 
Just to verify this is the doc?  (I tried in 2 browsers and still got old 
code) 

[Comment 5 Mark Guertin 2003-01-01 23:19:30 UTC]

Ahh I see.  You added to section 7.3 (my bad) 
 
7.3 should be gone completely (doesn't apply using the proper install method), 
and the stuff I included should replace the whole of Section #15

Alrighty, now it is fixed ;-)
Thanks Gerk!
