Here's a list of packages that livecd-ng wants to put on the LiveCD, but are masked for alpha: sys-apps/partimage hwdata-knoppix hwsetup net-ftp/ftpd mirrorselect sys-apps/mdadm parted sys-apps/star net-dialup/wvdial sys-apps/raidtools net-irc/irssi jfsutils mingetty pwgen ucl dietlibc tsocks =sys-apps/hotplug-20020826-r2 usbutils net-dialup/ppp net-dialup/rp-pppoe isdn4k-utils pptpclient sys-apps/lvm-user
I've marked irssi, ppp, mirrorselect, usbutils and hotplug stable. I've used them all for motnhs, and other people have reported using them on the forums and irc.
ooh, and pwgen. updated list for reference: sys-apps/partimage hwdata-knoppix hwsetup net-ftp/ftpd sys-apps/mdadm parted sys-apps/star net-dialup/wvdial sys-apps/raidtools jfsutils mingetty ucl dietlibc tsocks net-dialup/rp-pppoe isdn4k-utils pptpclient sys-apps/lvm-user
I marked star, ftpd, mingetty, and ucl stable. New list below. Your turn, Will. Btw, there are some packages here that NONE of us (Tavis, Will, me) will ever be able to use or test. If they build, we'll have to mark them stable and move on. We'll have to "risk-manage" the bug reports at that point. sys-apps/partimage hwdata-knoppix hwsetup sys-apps/mdadm parted net-dialup/wvdial sys-apps/raidtools jfsutils dietlibc tsocks net-dialup/rp-pppoe isdn4k-utils pptpclient sys-apps/lvm-user
Whee, my turn! I've marked the following (and their deps) stable, based on a combination of (admittedly brief) testing and checking what other distributions consider stable: mdadm raidtools parted dietlibc hwsetup hwdata-knoppix Stuff we can't test ourselves (e.g. isdn) will be marked ~alpha if it compiles, and put on the experimental liveCD.. if someone needs that functionality they can use the experimental CD and report success/failure to us. Stuff that doesn't compile should be fixed or dropped from the CD as appropriate. New list: sys-apps/partimage net-dialup/wvdial jfsutils tsocks net-dialup/rp-pppoe isdn4k-utils pptpclient sys-apps/lvm-user
partimage compiles okay but dies, seemingly due to 32-bit-isms: Error: sizeof(DWORD) != 4 (8) This version has been compiled with an uncompatible version of gcc. I'm gonna have to remove it from the list. Too bad, it would have been useful. wvdial, rp-pppoe, isdn4k-utils and pptpclient are part of mandrake and/or RH and compile for me, so I'm marking them stable. Attempting to mount a JFS partition on my system causes a kernel oops/BUG(), so I'm removing jfsutils from the list. tsocks compiles but I can't test it so I'm marking it ~alpha. And lastly, LVM isn't in the alpha kernel yet, so I'm gonna drop it from the liveCD, for now. Hopefully soon I can try to build a new LiveCD! Thanks for the help, guys.
Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux". I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers, this is the only reasonable way to do this.
