Description Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-03-09 11:46:19 UTC 
I had to enter absolute paths for my livecd-stage2 spec file (on x86) for catalyst to find the files.  This is with the latest version in portage (1.0.4).

I would think it would work with paths relative to sharedir.
Comment 1 John Davis (zhen) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-03-12 04:58:03 UTC 
what files, specifically?
Comment 2 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-03-12 06:47:58 UTC 
Well...

catalyst: Cannot locate specified livecd/cdtar: livecd/cdtar/isolinux-2.08-cdtar.tar.bz2 (2nd try)

livecd/cdtar

catalyst: Cannot locate specified livecd/archscript: livecd/runscript/x86-archscript.sh (2nd try)

livecd/archscript

catalyst: Cannot locate specified livecd/runscript: livecd/runscript/default-runscript-with-x.sh (2nd try)

livecd/runscript

catalyst: Can't find kernel config: livecd/kconfig/config-2.6.3-gentoo-gamecd-x86

boot/kernel/gentoo/config

Setting absolute paths in these allow catalyst to build.
Comment 3 John Davis (zhen) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-03-23 17:34:33 UTC 
i don't think that this is a problem. absolute paths are more secure and portable than relative ones.
Comment 4 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-03-24 03:52:29 UTC 
No problem... just that everything else took relative paths so I figured the input should be consistent.  I would think that both should be acceptable.
