A stage 3 is just a stage2 that has had an 'emerge system' done to it. |
| 13 |
The packages that get pulled in by 'emerge system' are called system |
| 14 |
packages and are designated in the profile that you are using to build. |
| 15 |
Check out /etc/make.profile/packages; the packages prefixed by a * are |
| 16 |
system packages. To change what system packages you want in your stages, |
| 17 |
I would create a different profile (probably named |
| 18 |
$myprofile-$arch-2004.0) and make your changes there. To get catalyst to |
| 19 |
use that profile, just set rel_type to $myprofile in your specfile. Note |
| 20 |
that if you change $arch or 2004.0, you will have to make the |
| 21 |
appropriate changes in your spec file as well. |

Check out make.defaults in the profile and edit the var called |
| 30 |
GRP_STAGE23_USE. |

Yup :) |

If you are really interested in the embedded stuff, hop onto irc and go |
| 45 |
to #gentoo-embedded. They love their embeddedness there. |
