Bug 418149 – dev-util/febootstrap - bring back the version 2 branch for better fedora bootstrap support

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ulenrich 2012-05-29 15:50:57 UTC]

Since febootstrap-3 we dont have a working script to easily install fedora on the fly any more. From febootstrap-3 you learn:
README:
"3.x only builds supermin appliances, it does not
  build chroots.  3.x does not build cross-distro, cross-release or
  cross-architecture systems.  If you want febootstrap 2.x, please use
  the 'febootstrap-2.x' branch from the git repository."
TODO:
"The name 'febootstrap' confuses everyone.  I'd like to rename the
 program to 'supermin' and rename 'febootstrap-supermin-helper' to
 'supermin-reconstruct'."
