Albert, I cloned your hg repo and tried to build from it, but it fails |
| 17 |
at downloading gentoo-sources. Something about not being able to |
| 18 |
resolve the kernel URLS. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
I suspect it is a problem in the ebuild itself, but I was not able to |
| 21 |
find where `portage' is on disc during that build. I wanted to |
| 22 |
attempt editing the ebuild but even with variable: |
| 23 |
REMOVE_PORTAGE_TREE NO |
| 24 |
I never find a `portage' directory. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Once the build fails, their is no `portage' directory containing the |
| 27 |
tree. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
In virtual-appliance: |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
find . -type d -name 'portage' |
| 32 |
./vabuild/var/lib/portage |
| 33 |
./vabuild/var/log/portage |
| 34 |
./vabuild/var/cache/edb/dep/usr/portage |
| 35 |
./vabuild/usr/lib/portage |
| 36 |
./vabuild/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
None of those contain the tree. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Here is tail of `sudo make' |

I cannot ping any of those kernel urls. But kernel.org appears up |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
ping kernel.org |

How to keep working portage tree accessible. |

I monkeyed around with your Makefile but couldn't follow it well |
| 73 |
enough to stop the umounting. |
