I submitted a fix for this at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=302570
Shadow doesn't seem to allow a purely static build.
Busybox is purely self-contained, so I used that.
It works on my end but it could use some testing.
Any feedback is appreciated.

Hi Guys,
a time a go there was heavy discussion (and a solution) for this problem
on the mailinglist ...
hoever, now i would also need this behavior ... ;)
as i found nothing in the archives as how to apply the forementioned
patch to useradd et al. my question is when will this be production
ready for the rest of the gentoo world ... and what can i do to use it
now ... or where can i help speeding up things ... ;)
is there an overlay ?!?
after all --root and --config-root ROCKS !!!!
thanks a lot for all your hard work !!!
regards,
marcus.
btw: gentoo again won the race for my embedded linux boxes for measuring
weather data against ubuntu and debian because it's far more flexible
when it comes to ... everything (choosing kernel version, python
version, ebuild building ;))) - for external kernel modules ;)))

Hey,
if you want to help here, try to get upstream shadow guys to accept
and commit the patch here:
https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=312407&group_id=30580&atid=411480
Have fun!
Sven

Hi sven,
wouldnt it be enough to have the patch included in gentoo's shadow
ebuild - as i think its mainly relevant for gentoo folks - at least in
the meantime, until the patch gets accepted upstream ?!
as i assume this patch alone is not enough - as it needs tweaking the
eclass providing the eadduser & co functions also ... and therefore it's
hard to put in an overlay ... or ?!?!
regards,
m.

Well, talk to the Gentoo maintainer of the shadow suite. :-) IIRC, it was
clearly said, that the patch has to go through mainstream, but you can
try nevertheless. IMHO the patch really _should_ go upstream and be
reviewed there as it might be relevant for security stuff.

The procedure would be:
1. Get the patch accepted either upstream or in the portage tree.
2. Find a good check to distinguish --chroot enabled and disabled shadow
3. Modify the eclass accordingly.
So, start with 1. and the rest will happen automatically... ;-)

I'm currently trying to upgrade the patch to the latest shadow svn head.
I'm having a problem that I might have to post on gentoo bugs, but I'd
like to post it here to make sure I'm not overlooking anything. I
started a new cross-build of armv4l-softfloat-linux-gnueabi with
crossdev. After installing the toolchain, using emerge-wrapper --init,
modifying make.conf, etc..., all emerges with
ROOT=/usr/armv4l-softfloat-linux-gnueabi/ in the environment cause
portage to use the --quiet flag. I don't have the flag in
PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS. I've tried deleting /var/cache/edb and
${ROOT}var/cache/edb, to no avail. I can't use FEATURES="python-trace"
to debug because the --quiet flag seems to override it. All thats
visible is "myopts {'--quiet': True, '--buildpkg': True, '--verbose':
True, '--oneshot': True, '--debug': True, '--root-deps':'rdeps'}". I
already searched gentoo bugs. Does anyone know if there was a change in
portage that would cause this, or am I overlooking something?

Check to see if the version of crossdev you are using has the -q flag
in /usr/bin/cross-emerge. If so you can remove it from there.

I updated the patch to svn revision 3213 and, since the ops on irc had
been unresponsive, I submitted a query on the shadow mailing-list, for
inclusion.
