Bug 273660 – --quiet option for bootstrap

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alexandre Nuno Milheiro 2009-06-10 22:06:00 UTC]

I would like to have the hability to have a --quiet|-q option for the bootstrap.sh script in portage. It could be useful for example to have a more consistent output in catalyst.

patch for bootstrap.sh

This patch should be enough to make this simple enhancement

Reassigning to vapier as he's the last one who touched the file.
Mike if you're the wrong assignee, please correct the assignment and drop me a note.

postsyncd script to patch bootstrap.sh

This script applies this patch http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=194199
Place it in the /etc/portage/postsync.d directory and it will repatch boostrap.sh after each emerge --sync

correction to postsyncd script

Ther's a mistake in the previous script as it will overwrite your /dev/null node with the patch rejects.
DON'T USE IT !
If you used it, then take those corrective steps:
rm /dev/null
mknod /dev/null c 1 3
chmod a+w /dev/null
Sorry for the inconvenience
