Pretty fair... I experimented "a little" with catalyst. Except if a little |
| 9 |
means "more than 3 days". |
| 10 |
As I used unmerge and remove directives (as suggested by examples specs), I |
| 11 |
could not figure it out easily, sorry I have to ask, but except if I get it |
| 12 |
wrong, that mostly why mailing-lists come for : answering for more |
| 13 |
experimented users feedback. |

OK so let's say I define a profile early. |
| 22 |
If I build a stage1, I'll have to use a existing stage3. |
| 23 |
Will this stage1 have stage3 files which are not removed ? No I think. |
| 24 |
But then if I want to build stage2, catalyst will be expecting stage1 to be |
| 25 |
able to build stage2 isn't it ? |
| 26 |
The point (since the begining), is that I don't want my base system to have |
| 27 |
gcc and portage. I don't want to remove them : I don't want them at all. In |
| 28 |
any stage. |
| 29 |
So I really don't get why I would have to create a profile, stage1 to stage4 |
| 30 |
... to still remove and unmerge gcc and portage at the end ! |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I think I don't get clear on my aim : |
| 34 |
I want to make a build env with gcc/portage/all the build stuff. From this |
| 35 |
env I want to build a target from scratch. |
| 36 |
The target won't have build tools in it at any point. |
| 37 |
I don't want the usual Gentoo way where all stage is built by preceding one, |
| 38 |
and is composed of preceding one. |
| 39 |
I want build place and target to be clearly separated, and I don't wat to |
| 40 |
apply a "remove things" behavior to target. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
I try things with catalyst, I promise, including writing profile, but I |
| 43 |
don't get to my aim. |
| 44 |
And you still seems pretty sure that catalyst can do that ! |
