Description M. Edward Borasky 2005-11-27 10:39:17 UTC
I copied the LiveCD stage1 spec file from the examples that came with catalyst2
and used what appear to be the defaults in that file in an attempt to build a
LiveCD. Apparently "kudzu-knoppix" isn't available:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
emerge --usepkg --buildpkg --newuse livecd-tools dhcpcd acpid apmd
gentoo-sources kudzu-knoppix hotplug coldplug fxload irssi gpm syslog-ng parted
links raidtools dosfstools nfs-utils jfsutils xfsprogs e2fsprogs reiserfsprogs
ntfsprogs pwgen rp-pppoe screen mirrorselect penggy iputils hwdata-knoppix
hwsetup lvm2 evms vim pptpclient mdadm ethtool wireless-tools prism54-firmware
wpa_supplicant livecd-tools
Calculating dependencies -
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "kudzu-knoppix".

This is dev-util/catalyst-2.0_pre20051122. I took the package out of the spec
file and it's now happily emerging packages. Is that the right thing to do, or
do I need to hunt down "kudzu-knoppix"?

Yeah... kudzu-knoppix has been removed from the tree completely.  It never
should have been listed in the first place, as it was pulled in as a dependency.
 Now libkudzu is used, and it is pulled in automatically.
Comment 2 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-11-28 06:02:14 UTC
I've changed this in the example specs, but if you notice, those examples are
based off 2005.0, so they aren't updated to the current state of the tree. 
They're there to be a guideline, not to help you duplicate anything that we've
done... ;]

Ah ... OK ... there used to be a "current" set of default spec files. Does that
still exist?
Comment 4 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-11-28 06:45:17 UTC
Yes, the ones from 2005.1, but they only work with catalyst 1.x anyway.
