[gentoo-catalyst] Cannot create stage1-livecd

[gentoo-catalyst] Cannot create stage1-livecd

[Juan Luis Pérez Pérez]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2611 bytes --]

Hi!
I was reading information about catalyst in forums.gentoo.org,
gentoo-wiki, gentoo.org, google, even in bugs.gentoo.org but it wasn't
possible to create a stage1-livecd.

When I try to create this, catalyst says:

...
>>> No outdated packages were found on your system.
ROOT=/ emerge --verbose --usepkg --buildpkg --newuse -pt livecd-tools baselayout
 dhcpcd acpid e2fsprogs ethtool hwsetup nano links less logrotate syslog-ng iput

!!! /etc/make.profile is not a symlink and will probably prevent most merges.
!!! It should point into a profile within /usr/portage/profiles/
!!! (You can safely ignore this message when syncing. It's harmless.)



These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

I attached spec files I used to generate stage1, stage2, stage3 and
stage1-liveCD. I've been working on this for two weeks, I tried to add
packages to package.unmask and package.keywords, add ACCEPT_KEYWORDS
to catalystrc... A some more workarounds but, no one worked :(

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

This seems to be the root-cause of your problem.

In your spec files you are using:
> profile: default/linux/x86/2008.0/server
with the exception of your livecd1-stage1.spec where you have:
> profile: default-linux/x86/2008.0

That path doesn't exist in Portage currently.

Cheers,
  Steve.

My make.profile is a symlink:
# ls -l /etc/make.*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 815 feb 25 17:56 /etc/make.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 410 jun 19  2008 /etc/make.conf.catalyst
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  40 jun  2 17:09 /etc/make.globals ->
../usr/share/portage/config/make.globals
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  48 feb 25 17:45 /etc/make.profile ->
../usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/x86/2008.0

About my profiles in my spec files I'll change those and try, but I
think it will not have any effect... :-(

Thanks Steve!

When using Catalyst,  the contents/settings of your base system are not 
relevant.

You only need to change livecd-stage1 (and possibly stage2).  Your others 
already specify a valid profile.

Cheers,
  Steve.

So... How can I work this out? Where is that "/etc/make.profile"?
I changed livecd-stage1 and it does not work at all. Catalyst still
show that error message about make.profile is not a symlink...

Re: [gentoo-catalyst] Cannot create stage1-livecd

[Juan Luis Pérez Pérez]

Ok Steve, Catalyst is still creating make.profile wrong despite I
changed it in my livecd spec profile, look:

# ls /var/tmp/catalyst/tmp/default/livecd-stage1-i686-2008.0/etc/make.* -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   540 jun  8 17:03
/var/tmp/catalyst/tmp/default/livecd-stage1-i686-2008.0/etc/make.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   540 jun  3 15:38
/var/tmp/catalyst/tmp/default/livecd-stage1-i686-2008.0/etc/make.conf.catalyst
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 23104 feb 13  2008
/var/tmp/catalyst/tmp/default/livecd-stage1-i686-2008.0/etc/make.conf.example
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  3034 feb 13  2008
/var/tmp/catalyst/tmp/default/livecd-stage1-i686-2008.0/etc/make.globals
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    48 jun  3 15:38
/var/tmp/catalyst/tmp/default/livecd-stage1-i686-2008.0/etc/make.profile
-> ../usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2008.0

This was solved using "catalyst -a".

Thanks for your help! :-D
