[gentoo-catalyst] Keeping a test environment using catalyst

[Paul Smith]

Hi again;

Thanks for the help the other day; I solved those problems.

Right now I'm working on getting some other packages installed into the
livecd.  The problem I'm having is that there doesn't seem to be any
fully usable "test environment" that reflects the livecd I can use for
development.  What I'm looking for is something that has the contents of
the livecd, but that also has the Portage database and tools installed
so that I can work with emerge, ebuild, etc. and get new packages
installed and working the way I want them to.

I can see the livecd-stage1, for example, leaves behind an image that I
could chroot to, but it's missing all the portage info so I can't really
do much in terms of testing there.


How do you all develop and test live CDs?  Is there some trick to
getting a test image available?  Or, do you do development via another
method and only start using catalyst when everything pretty much works?
