No idea. I know that portage is still under gentoo-src, so I just stuck |
| 6 |
it there. If it needs to be moved, we can move it at some point. |

Well, tgall and plasmaroo are your resources for the udev stuff, since |
| 14 |
they are the only people I know of that know anything about it. You |
| 15 |
will probably need to create a livecd/dev-manager: option for |
| 16 |
livecd-stage2 to take care of this. There is now a --udev option to |
| 17 |
genkernel-3.0.2e+, but I'm not sure exactly how it works. Right now, it |
| 18 |
looks like we use the "normal" genkernel line if we don't have |
| 19 |
livecd-dev-manager or if livecd/dev-manager is devfs, and we add a |
| 20 |
--udev if it is udev. |

Catalyst supports bootsplash perfectly, but fbsplash has now replaced |
| 23 |
bootsplash in all 2.6.8+ Gentoo kernels. This was done without so much |
| 24 |
as a note to any mailing list that I am a part of, so we're pretty much |
| 25 |
caught off-guard with it. I have no clue as to the status of fbsplash |
| 26 |
and genkernel, so I don't even know if any support is there. As it |
| 27 |
stands right now, if we can't get support for it, we're probably going |
| 28 |
to drop the splash images from the release, simply because the newer |
| 29 |
drivers in 2.6.8+ and the better SATA handling make it the preferred |
| 30 |
kernel choice for a single-kernel CD. I am going to try to get with |
| 31 |
spock in the next day or two and change all the bootsplash-themes-* to |
| 32 |
splash-themes-* and have them use the "bootsplash" local USE to install |
| 33 |
the bootsplash themes, simply because we aren't going to see any more |
| 34 |
kernels with bootsplash added to them. |
