Personal build specs for Gentoo Linux's Catalyst tool

Oubliette Releases

These are my unofficial Catalyst build specs, modified from Gentoo's Releng, for creating custom releases based on Gentoo Linux.

AMD64 Admin ISO

• kconfig: resolves usb keyboard initialization issue on one of my systems
• livecd: auto-start sshd using my public key for auth
• livecd: includes more packages - mostly network focused
• distcc support
• incorporates Oubliette overlay and patches

AMD64 Server Stage4

• base stage3 plus a few common packages which I tend to use

ARM64

• incomplete experimental (abandoned)

build system packages note

These spec and conf files are incompatible with previous stable catalyst-3.0.17 branch, tested with catalyst-9999 Sept 2021

initial setup

I cloned this repo locally under /opt

git clone https://github.com/nabbi/oubliette-releng /opt/oubliette-releng
cd /opt/oubliette-releng
git submodule update --init --recursive 

time

catalyst-auto depends on time for statistical process reporting, but it cannot call the bash built in time command

emerge -qva sys-process/time

distcc config

./config/catalyst.conf needs to be defined from catalyst.example.conf, adjust distcc servers as needed

Copy this file into /etc/catalyst/catalyst.conf

download latest stage3 seed

./tools/download-stage3-seed.sh

add oubliette overlay

The spec files expect default paths at /var/db/repos/oubliette

eselect repository enable oubliette

run catalyst-auto

./tools/catalyst-auto -X -v -c tools/catalyst-auto-amd64.conf
