[gentoo-catalyst] root_overlay

[gentoo-catalyst] root_overlay

[Kosta Todorovic]

I cant seem to get the root_overlay to work.

In my livecd-stage2 spec I have:

livecd/root_overlay: /path/to/root_overlay/
#livecd/overlay: /path/to/overlay/

In /path/to/root_overlay/ as a test I have made a new directory in
/var/log/ called "test".

So I have /path/to/root_overlay/var/log/test.

Unfortunately this does not show up at all once the LiveCD is built.

Also there are many directories made in my livecd-stage1 built as
config/log files for the packages that I've emerged but these get
wiped out again once the livecd-stage2 is built.

Packages like Webmin which need /var/log/webmin or Snort which needs
/var/log/snort  fail without these dirs (and without
re-configuration).


Whats the way around this?
I would like default configs and dirs from emerged livecd-stage1
packages to still be there once i've made the livecd-stage2 build.

Remove /var/log from livecd-stage2's livecd/clean section.

Then remove them from the clean section.

[gentoo-catalyst] blocks in 2005.0 specfiles

[Ryan Lynch]

I was just looking over the 2005.0 livecd stage2 specfiles, and I noticed that it tries to install ipw2100 as well as ipw2200.  I'm trying to build a livecd to contain my own install stages, and I'd like it to be as close to the Gentoo livecd as possible.  The problem is I can't install both ipw2100 and ipw2200 because the packages block eachother, any idea how the releng guys got around the block in building the livecd?

I removed the block in the official snapshot.

Also, you will have to use the *exact* versions of ipw2x00 that we used
for the 2005.0 release, otherwise the ieee modules that both use are not
identical, and you will get a failure in one or the other when they
load.  It just so happened that the versions we had available used
identical code.

It was a quick and dirty hack, and personally, I recommend people just
drop one or the other.  We might have to do the same on the next
release.  ;[

Wow.

It seems that occasionally on boot, the silent splash locks up, no icons, no progress bar.  I thought this was just a 2005.0 official live-cd problem, but I've noticed it on livecd's I've made as well as the new Dolphin beta.  Any idea whats causing that problem?

Not a clue.

All of the splash stuff is done by a couple of the Gentoo devs.  I can
say that most of the time, it is doing processing for the icons
starting, but determining which services will be started and in what
order.  What if you switch to verbose mode, does it still lock up?

Anyway, that really has nothing to do with catalyst itself, just witht
he funky theme.

Thats what I figured.  The only thing that locks up is the splash theme itself, the boot process is unaffected, so if I go into verbose mode everything is fine, although it takes a while to switch because the bootsplash is, well, locked up. :-?.  Anyway, it's not that big of a deal, just a cosmetic problem, one of many it seems with the latest versions of splashutils: (see bug report #79131)

In *my* snapshot, I deleted the line that says !net-wireless/ipw2100
from ipw2200 and !net-wireless/ipw2200 form ipw2100.  I then re-ran the
digest and made a new snapshot.

The official snapshot is now 2 months old, so I doubt you would really
want to use it.
