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
