And with that… a new round of stagebuilds begins… I’ll do the initial stage builds on the Qube2 for now, so things will take some time, but I want to iron out all the issues I’ve been having and get something together that builds smoothly. I may even run it through Catalyst a second time just to make sure everything is clean. These should also include the newer tools, such as baselayout-2 and eselect.
This seed stage was mostly cross-compiled on my now dead Duron. I now have a 6-core AMD Phenom II which I also plan to set up QEMU on, for stage-building purposes… and soon will get distcc going on a few of the hosts here… so hopefully I’ll have stagebuilds going much more regularly.
Care to share your spec file(s)? 🙂
I could… but what’s the point? The spec files don’t make the stages alone, they can be derived from the example one given . The seed stages however, are a different matter… and the seed stage I’m using is close to 1GB in size… very bloated and full of cruft that must go.
I have an automatic build script which I will leverage once I get this to stage 3… presuming the script hasn’t broken in the last two years, I’ll happily share it. It builds the spec files, stages… the lot… all in one hit.
