There is no bug described here. Everything appears to be working normally. It appears like you need to read the man page for emerge and perhaps the documentation at www.gentoo.org to understand how things are working. class Package classes are a convenient shorthand for large groups of packages. Two classes are currently supported: system and world. system refers to a set of packages deemed necessary for your system to run properly. world contains all of the packages in system, along with any other packages listed in /var/cache/edb/world. [See FILES below for more information.] Note that these commands are generally used in conjunction with --update. This is not the first time I've read this- it implies that system files should be built first. There is no way to add reiserfsprogs to "system" /etc/make.profile/package Contains a list of packages used for the base system. The sys- tem and world classes consult this file. Do not edit this file. Meaning when you rsync and update baselayout it will be overwritten. Therefor you cannot edit this file and add filesystem support for say xfs or reiserfs etc. Last time I checked a kernel was required to have a bootable system. And some packages/program require a kernel in place before they will build i.e. iptables or nmap. |
