[gentoo-catalyst] LiveCD with vanilla-sources

[Raboo Treed]

Is it possible to make a LiveCD with vanilla-sources instead of 
gentoo-sources... And if so how do I do it and how do I pass options 
like I pass with genkernel for instance --dmraid.

Or can genkernel in some way compile vanilla-sources?

sed -e 's/gentoo-sources/vanilla-sources/' *.spec :P

Genkernel can compile whatever sources /usr/src/linux points to. It's just that 
we use gentoo-sources for the releases and the default kernel configs that 
genkernel has are for gentoo-sources. However, they'll probably Just Work(TM) 
with vanilla-sources.

If you use vanilla-sources, you cannot use squashfs.

We don't recommend using vanilla-sources simply because we *never* test
it.  It will likely work, but I guarantee gentoo-sources will work.

I always forget about that. Why hasn't that been merged upstream? I think 
there's ample evidence that it works :P

Just to let you know I use 2 patches to have squashfs with lzma.
But since i am not able to make it from gentoo-sources, I use vanilla + 
patch2gentoo-sources = gentoo-sources + patch2squashfs-lzma = 
gentoo-sources-squash-lzma

If needed have a look at svn :

Okay this is turning out to be more difficult the more i get to know..
I'll tell you my problem in cleartext and see if anyone has a solution 
for me.

Basicly what I need is a LiveCD with linux-2.6.22_rc4 with the dmraid 
patch I've attached to this mail. Cause I'm going to install linux on a 
fakeraid. But apperantly I also need some Squashfs patches to make it 
work with the LiveCD.
So is there a solution to my problem?

BTW, is it the 4300_squashfs-3.2.patch i need to get squashfs with lzma, 
from the genpatches svn?
