[gentoo-releng] baselayout 1.8.6.13 broken for livecds

[Brad House]

well, no one notified me of a 1.8.6.13 release to test before
it went stable yesterday.  Anyhow, thought you all should be
aware that it doesn't work.  A preliminary look at the ebuild
itself shows these lines:

        dosbin runscript.sh functions.sh
        use livecd && livecd-functions.sh
        exeinto /lib/rcscripts/sh

I am at a loss somewhat as to what it's trying to do, I assume
it's supposed to be

        use livecd && dosbin livecd-functions.sh

instead. As /sbin/livecd-functions.sh was not on the resulting
livecd.

Anyhow, I don't think I have any more time today to do testing
on this, so I have no idea if the rc-scripts that gets installed
works or not.  I know beejay said the patches against 1.8.6.12-r5
that were provided to him by Azarah did NOT work, so if this includes
those same patches, I assume there is going to be even more work.
Anyhow, I'm not touching baselayout again, as I've already taken
enough heat off of it.

I am going to still recommend that those people who need to build
livecds make use of baselayout-1.8.6.12-r4 that I had committed,
as it is the only one I know of that has been tested and verified
to work.

Brad, have releng get any needed baselayout fixes to me, and I will roll
a new stable baselayout release for you (and commit baselayout cvs and
to the portage tree.) Please base your work on what is current in
baselayout cvs, and test your work on livecds and on normal Gentoo
systems.

Martin, sorry to have to do this (I would much rather *not* have to do
this, as I have other stuff I could be doing,) but I don't see you
making any meaningful effort to work with these people. They have
repeatedly been making a very sincere effort to coordinate with you, and
they deserve much more than what they have been getting.

Sincerely,

Daniel

ok, I finished testing baselayout 1.8.6.13 for livecds. It appears
the only problem existed in the ebuild that I reported before
use livecd && livecd-functions.sh -->
use livecd && dosbin livecd-functions.sh

So if someone commits that fix, it should be fine.  I tested both
cdfs types of zisofs and normal, and did not find problems with
either.

OK, I committed this fix.

Sorry all.  I really tried to get to everything and more yesterday,
and made a small slip-up.

Uhm, can we retract this statement? =)  It took said people more than 24
hours to com back to about possible fixes me =)  Anyhow, no bad
feelings or whatever.  I was dumb in the changes - check the ChangeLog
for rc-scripts - and fixed it myself, so its not the last ones I sent
beejay.
