This is the big one. To be able to work on catalyst, you first must be |
16 |
running and using gentoo linux and be familiar with it. Gentoo's |
17 |
package management tools are central to running and using catalyst to |
18 |
build various output media. If you are not already using gentoo, you |
19 |
best get a partition free and install it asap. Become familiar with it. |
20 |
|
21 |
tools to be familiar with: |
22 |
|
23 |
portage and it's cli tools, emerge, emaint, portageq |
24 |
gentoolkit's equery, eclean |
25 |
|
26 |
You must be familiar with using the above tools and solving build |
27 |
problems and package installation failures. |
28 |
|
29 |
Then start trying to use catalyst to generate some targets. |

This is all information that will need for you to succeed in your |
32 |
project proposal. |

This will be something for your actual proposal. It can be done later. |
