Created attachment 593738 [details, diff] Patch It's one thing to install config files and let the user tinker with them a bit to get them to work on, in my case, a dev-util/catalyst build. It's something else entirely to not install them at all. Per upstream https://github.com/calamares/calamares/issues/994 doing the latter results in errors being thrown around. Patching the ebuild to fix this problem.
Created attachment 593766 [details, diff] Patch 2 Found out that the ":BOOL" at the end of the -DINSTALL_CONFIG flag isn't necessary in the ebuild and may actually not be doing what was stated in the upstream reference bug based on the way some Arch-based distros have the flags in their PKGBUILD files, so correcting. ATTN: johu ― without -DINSTALL_CONFIG, errors are thrown around. It's much wiser to install config files and then let people use livecd/fsscript to modify them than to not install them at all.
Until this bug is fixed I have this temporary workaround in my fsscript: #Download config files that emerge won't install wget -O /etc/calamares/settings.conf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/calamares/calamares/master/settings.conf for i in /usr/lib64/calamares/modules/*; do wget -O /usr/lib64/calamares/modules/$i/$i.conf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/calamares/calamares/master/src/modules/$i/$i.conf done Perhaps something similar can be done upstream.
