If this seems too heavy handed then you can just as well do the reverse: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Maintain an overlay repo with the packages you care to control in the |
| 7 |
state you care to have them, set that in the catalyst stage4.spec |
| 8 |
portage_overlay and add unwanted package versions in gentoo.git to |
| 9 |
the package.mask directory used by catalyst. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
This may sound complicated but it isn't bad at all. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
For total control also make your own profile, e.g. based on embedded, |
| 14 |
but that's not per se neccessary, only if the standard profiles has too |
| 15 |
much conflicts with what you want in @system. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
catalyst will rebuild @system according to spec file but with too much |
| 18 |
difference that just becomes annoying and feels more trouble than a |
| 19 |
controlled profile. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
This approach falls somewhere between your options (1) and (5). |

Good luck! |
