One thing that we've ran into is that at least one package so far won't |
| 15 |
emerge/update under our plan. Our "plan" was to NFS export /usr/portage |
| 16 |
out from our master server which would then be mounted on all other Gentoo |
| 17 |
servers. The mount is read only to ensure that another admin doesn't for |
| 18 |
example delete /usr/portage, or emerge sync before we determine it should |
| 19 |
be done, or whatever. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Now we are at the point with our first test installation using this plan |
| 22 |
that we are running an emerge system to build the system after a stage2 |
| 23 |
tarball has been used to create another server. The update is getting to |
| 24 |
sys-apps/baselayout and bailing out because the file /usr/portage/.keep |
| 25 |
cannot be written (read-only filesystem). |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Have we run into an inherent flaw in our system by assuming that packages |
| 28 |
should never need to write to /usr/portage? Is baselayout the only one |
| 29 |
that does this? What is the purpose of the .keep file? The version in |
| 30 |
question is baselayout-1.8.6.13. |
