I'm trying to build a generic/livecd type and having an issue with |
2 |
putting Firefox on it. It compiles fine, and emerge shows it's using |
3 |
the "bindist" use flag, which seems to indicate that it should be |
4 |
getting branded as "Firefox" and not "Bon Echo". I used the exact |
5 |
same use flags when I emerged it outside of catalyst and I get the |
6 |
Firefox branding, but it seems no matter what I try, inside the |
7 |
catalyst build, I get the Bon Echo branding. Even tried 3.0.1, where |
8 |
I think I got the "Minefield" branding. |

In any case, I thought it might have been based on things other than |
11 |
use flags, such as a "LINGUAS" setting, so I even tried manipulating |
12 |
the make.conf inside of the chrooted livecd stage 1 build directory, |
13 |
but that didn't work either. (In fact, I even built a patch to |
14 |
catalyst to set this and a few other things automatically, see next |
15 |
post). No luck there, either, though. |

17 |
One of the reasons I care is because certain sites actually care about |
18 |
the branding, because the branding actually changes the user agent |
19 |
string. For instance, CNN video doesn't work, even though it |
20 |
otherwise can. Yes, I can install "User Agent Switcher" and |
21 |
manipulate this, but I don't want to have to do yet one more |
22 |
manipulation, especially installing firefox add-ons via catalyst, when |
23 |
I shouldn't have to do this. |

Any other ideas? |
