[gentoo-catalyst] ship /usr/portage with stage4

[Burak Arslan]

Hi there,

I've set up my first stage4 catalyst job and everything seems to be in 
order.

My final gripe with it is that I couldn't get it to ship the contents of 
/usr/portage inside the stage4 tarball. Having looked at the source, I 
guess that's because the latest portage snapshot is mount --bind'ed to 
the chroot environment, which is unmounted before creating the tarball.

Any suggestions? Am I missing something obvious here?

Best regards,
Burak

ps: I wouldn't prefer to ship the archive and add this to local.start:

if [ -f /portage-latest.tar.bz2 ]; then tar xjpf /portage-latest.tar.bz2 
-C /usr && rm /portage-latest.tar.bz2; fi
