Subject: [gentoo-releng] [PATCH] specs: add usbutils (& pciutils explicitly) to amd64/x86 installcds
Date: Fri, 29 Jun 2018 16:22:28

1 We have needed usbutils on our installcds for a long time. This is very
2 useful to get usb networking & other hardware up early in the install
3 procedure.

5 I have added that and also pciutils, which we currently get via a
6 dependency of another package. New installers use pciutils very often
7 so we wouldn't want to accidentally lose this package.

9 I have only staged the change for the main x86/amd64 installcds but it
10 could be applied to admincds as well.
