Description Einstok Fair 2021-04-26 05:22:56 UTC
- The documentation should explain how to use catalyst scripts for the task.
- Downloads page for ARM64 architecture should contain .iso image in addition to stage3

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Matt Turner gentoo-dev 2021-06-12 18:28:01 UTC
So there's a trivial amount of plumbing that needs to be done in catalyst, but 95% of the work is making a kernel config and actually testing the resulting ISO which I can't do because I don't have hardware.

We can keep bugs like this open, but I really don't see the point. The way it gets fixed is by contributing.
Comment 2 Einstok Fair 2021-06-13 19:54:00 UTC
I have the hardware, but don't have an ISO.
I am unable to contribute because of lack of understanding what and how to do.

sent patches that enable ISO creation in catayst:

Comment 4 Georgy Yakovlev archtester gentoo-dev 2021-07-26 01:02:09 UTC
releng.git now contains arm64 stages

https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/releng.git/tree/releases/specs/arm64

build is still disabled, some packages need stable keywords
Comment 5 Georgy Yakovlev archtester gentoo-dev 2021-07-26 01:02:31 UTC
^ i meant arm64 livecd specs, not stages.
