Created attachment 882314 [details] stage1.spec Hi, I'm not sure this is the right place to discuss it, please direct me otherwise. I'm trying to build a livecd to recover my root-on-ZFS machine with ZFS 2.2. Existing liveCDs don't have high enough version of zfs to read my pool. When building stage1 according to https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Catalyst I get PF16W6Y2 /usr/src/linux # catalyst -f stage1.spec 15 Jan 2024 11:24:39 MSK: NOTICE : Loading configuration file: /etc/catalyst/catalyst.conf NOTICE:catalyst:Loading configuration file: /etc/catalyst/catalyst.conf 15 Jan 2024 11:24:39 MSK: NOTICE : conf_values[options] = ['autoresume', 'bindist', 'kerncache', 'pkgcache', 'seedcache'] NOTICE:catalyst:conf_values[options] = ['autoresume', 'bindist', 'kerncache', 'pkgcache', 'seedcache'] 15 Jan 2024 11:24:39 MSK: NOTICE : Processing spec file: stage1.spec NOTICE:catalyst:Processing spec file: stage1.spec 15 Jan 2024 11:24:39 MSK: NOTICE : Using target: stage1 NOTICE:catalyst:Using target: stage1 15 Jan 2024 11:24:39 MSK: NOTICE : Accepted source file extensions search order: ['tar.xz', 'tpxz', 'xz', 'tar.bz2', 'bz2', 'tbz2', 'squashfs', 'sfs', 'tar.gz', 'gz', 'tar'] NOTICE:catalyst:Accepted source file extensions search order: ['tar.xz', 'tpxz', 'xz', 'tar.bz2', 'bz2', 'tbz2', 'squashfs', 'sfs', 'tar.gz', 'gz', 'tar'] 15 Jan 2024 11:24:39 MSK: NOTICE : Source path set to /var/tmp/catalyst/builds/default/stage3-amd64-openrc-latest.tar.xz NOTICE:catalyst:Source path set to /var/tmp/catalyst/builds/default/stage3-amd64-openrc-latest.tar.xz 15 Jan 2024 11:24:39 MSK: NOTICE : --- Running action sequence: unpack NOTICE:catalyst:--- Running action sequence: unpack 15 Jan 2024 11:24:39 MSK: NOTICE : Referenced SEEDCACHE does not appear to be a directory, trying to untar...

Created attachment 882315 [details] lex package.use
I recommend looking at https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/releng.git/. They use package.use.force so the USE=-* doesn't interfere with it.
(I've called it invalid for now but someone is free to reopen; the docs may need improving if nothing else though...)
This was an issue with the docs, formatting somehow got broken so it was difficult to spot the link to https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Catalyst/Custom_Media_Image Just as a FYI The main catalyst article is just an overview of the configure options of the tool and examples to complete certain tasks can be found at https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Catalyst#Detailed_usage_examples If you have any ideas on how to improve these then please do add them or at the very least add them as an idea to the discussion pages.
