Feel free to file a bug with a patch. Remember that catalyst isn't |
| 6 |
really targeted for end-users (how many times do you hear that about a |
| 7 |
project) but instead Gentoo developers. We release it mostly for |
| 8 |
transparency reasons and because of our social contract. That being |
| 9 |
said, we do work bug reports, especially ones with patches. |

It is. It is all due to seedcache and how it works. It first searches |
| 20 |
for a directory, then for a tarball. That's not saying that there isn't |
| 21 |
a bug in there somewhere, but the design is to use a directory first |
| 22 |
when options=seedcache and a tarball only otherwise for all targets |
| 23 |
*except* livecd-stage2. |
