Description Robert Cole 2003-02-10 20:40:44 UTC

When I start a bootstrap from a stage1 tarball and it times out on resolving a
site 3 times (retry count seems to be used ok from make.conf) I have to start
the bootstrap.sh script over again and it starts from the beginning doing it all
over again.

I've had to restart the bootscrap.sh script over at least 6 times during various
stages of the bootstrap and it starts from the beginning and recompiles all
those that have already been recompiled then gets to the app it was trying to
download, gets it this time and then has a problem later on with another app and
I have to start it all over again.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.follow normal stage1 install.
2.have or cause a failure in a download
3.Now everything has to start from the beginning again.

Actual Results:  
Start over but already downloaded packages are simply unpacked and recompiled
again (that's good at least :) )

Expected Results:  
Keep track of each app that is successfully installed by writing a log then when
a failure occurs start from that point.

Has this been addressed yet?

I haven't tested this "problem" in a while but will do if you need to see if the problem still exists in 1.4 rc4

I can address this; this bug was overlooked since it was assigned to release@ and thus got ignored. Assigning to me.

bootstrap.sh supports -f and --fetch-only

Also, the Gentoo Handbook tells how to use this before running the bootstrap.sh, so I would think that this has been solved by the doc team.  If you feel this still needs to be looked into, please reopen this bug.

Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux".

I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers,
this is the only reasonable way to do this.
