Yes, but only for the main tools like gcc, binutils, etc. Now I'm not so sure that I want to have to deal with putting everything that I already have installed in that file. I think I'll just forget about this.

zecora, your problem is probably due to the fact that you haven't installed gcc on your fedora system. I'm not sure if you need more than just gcc. Everything worked well for me on an x86 system running Ubuntu 7.04. But I have installed various development tools. But | Code: | | apt-get install build-essential |
should do if you are using Ubuntu. There may be more, but since I had all this already installed I'm not sure if you need more
So just start by installing gcc and see if you are able to resolve this problem. |

| Posted: Tue Apr 22, 2008 12:58 am Post subject: Got it going on redhat:python 2.2.4 readline patch |
|
|
seems like a lot of interdepencies between portage<>python versions.
from a redhat release 4, nahant update 5 (needed to redo apache2)
Installed python 2.3.7 from scratch to make portage go,
then when I attempt to emerge portage, readline patch borks patching dev-lang/python-2.4.4-r6
Looks like the patch comes up empty looking at /var/tmp/portage/python...01_all_readline.patch-30274.out
should I keep python outside of portage and update (or are their portage package dependencies?)
or attempt without readline (what is readline?)
or tweak the ebuild
also, apache2ctl requires runscript- where does that come from?
TIA |

Hello,
I am trying to install portage on a LFS-based system (just for the geeky fun).
I have a toolchain + python 2.6 and try to install portage.
I see that portage-2.1 and 2.2 are quite different than 2.0.
Will portage 2.0 still work today with a current portage tree ?
Did anybody tried that operation on those last recent days ?
EDIT: I will try with pkgcore or paludis, because they have installation scripts.

Hello,
I managed to build a "Gentoo From Scratch" !
I started from LinuxFromScratch 6.6 book, but only built the chroot system (in /tools), then install portage, then emerge 2-3 needed packages, then generate a stage 1, and voilà !
I am currently testing my script. If someone is interested, I will publish it later.

I'm fixing some bugs in my script, the big problems are around. Yet some ld.so problems, maybe a bug in the initial toolchain (I feel I removed too much base packages from LFS).

Hello,
The scripts "Gentoo From Scratch" begins to be stable: I managed how to switch from a "/tools" based minimal system (as described in Linux From Scratch book version 6.6, but staying in /tools), install python (easy), portage (quite straightforward by copying all needed files in the right place), then amend the "/tools" toolchain to point again to "/lib(64)", and generate the stage 1.
The script is under test on my machine for the night, let's hope it will reach a stage 3

then

cd $old_pwd

then
echo portage:x:250:250:portage:/var/tmp/portage:/bin/false >> /etc/passwd

if [[ ! $(grep portage /etc/group) ]]
then
echo portage::250:portage >> /etc/group

if [[ ! -d /usr/portage ]]
then
emerge --sync || exit 1

emerge --info || exit 1;
|
And obviously, emerge works

Hello,
Just to say I fully succeeded a script that install Gentoo from Scratch 
I will give first details in French, in my topic, and later, I will translate it in English. The script will be published later, when it will be complete (pre-requisites tests, automatic download of needed sources, check with some non-Gentoo live CDs as Ubuntu and LinuxFromScratch, ...)
The script I gave before to install Portage is included in my script, you can use it on any other distribution. Let's hope Portage developers will provide a configure and makefile in a next version of Portage....

If it helps, I'll be occupying myself on making a tutorial on installing portage on any Linux distro, starting with the bulky bastard Ubuntu.

If it could be done in userspace, that would be quite useful. 2 years ago I lost about 3 month, because I had to teach a cluster the basic moves - like numpy and scipy…
Back then I tried a prefix-install of Gentoo, but it sadly did not work out.

w00t!! I just mentioned this on another post. I want to try it. Plz make a guide ASAP.
In other words, portage has detached itself from Gentoo into its own living form and spread to other distros from within.
XavierMiller, plz incrust portage into m$$, that'd be the ultimate frontier of gentoo.
What this does, is that only portage needs to be maintained!!
A package manager that takes over and system!! lololol. |

That exist already : gentoo prefix based on Interix (or not working : based on cygwin)

Before you attempt to use it, make sure that you have a backup of the system(for weak hearted guys...). Have a look at the script and know what it does. Although, its not destructive in the sense that unless and until you emerge glibc straightaway, you are safe. Don't emerge glibc,gcc,binutils,baselayout. Alias emerge to something which asks for confirmation if its not "emerge -p <>". And if e.g. "emerge -p tar" tells you that its going to emerge binutils, make sure to inject binutils first.

This script is now officially tested by me and others.
Thanks.
PS:
I use the following script to prune out all packages I have marked unsafe for portage on Fedora.
-------------------------------------------------
| Code: |
#!/bin/bash
emerge sync
emerge -p -uD world > /tmp/world.update
for i in `cat /etc/portage/package.mask.ORG` ;
do
matching=`grep "$i" /tmp/world.update`
if [ -n "$matching" ]; then
toInject=`echo $matching|cut -d " " -f 4`;
echo "Injecting $toInject"
echo "$toInject" >> /etc/portage/profile/package.provided
fi
done
echo "# #"
echo "################# UPDATES #######################"
echo "# #"
cat /tmp/world.update
|
-------------------------------------------
Currently, my /etc/portage/package.mask.ORG looks like this:
--------------
| Code: |
sys-apps/baselayout
sys-apps/sysvinit
sys-fs/devfsd
sys-kernel/linux-headers
sys-libs/pwdb
sys-libs/pam
sys-libs/pam-login
sys-apps/kbd
sys-devel/bin86
net-misc/iputils
sys-apps/shadow
net-misc/dhcpcd
sys-apps/modutils
sys-libs/glibc
sys-apps/cronbase
x11-base/opengl-update
net-mail/mailbase
net-nds/portmap
sys-fs/e2fsprogs
|
-------------------
No specific reason for anything other than baselayout, glibc, gcc, binutils, I usually update these fabfour with up2date once in a while. These four you should never emerge on redhat/fedora. Remember, services are handled by different mechanisms in gentoo and other distros, so anything which has to do with services you can't really emerge because you didn't emerge baselayout and hence don't have rc-update script. you could hack around them though.
perfect for keeping xfree, gnome, multimedia kind of stuff up2date.
Good luck.
EDIT: How can I forget to thanks Crichards for floating this idea here? Thanks crichards!! please refer this thread as well:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=28559
EDIT: mar 10, 05
existing ld.so.conf is killed by portage because it doesn't know about redhat installed stuff. Fixed this in the script.
/EDIT
EDIT: feb 21 '05
update the script for latest portage. I link /etc/make.profile with gcc34 profile, feel free to change to your taste after installing. also, I do emerge gcc,binutils now on my FC2 install, works out better. so apart from some very specific stuff like sysvinit, baselayout, glibc you can pretty emerge whole system. I did a custom nitro2 install sometime back using portage on FC2, works out fine.

Somebody posted the link for rescue tars in responses, just updating it here at the top:
http://dev.gentoo.org/~carpaski/portage_rescue/
/EDIT
EDIT: Jan 22
found a much easier way to install portage on a non-gentoo system.
get the rescue tarball for your arch from here:
ftp://ftp.ucsb.edu/pub/mirrors/linux/gentoo/gentoo-x86-portage/sys-apps/portage/files/
read the README.RESCUE. Untar, emerge sync and emerge portage should get you on your way!!

You do realise you just quoted a post from 10 years ago?
I'm having to use debian on a few system i run now, have no choice in it, would be lovely if i could run portage in them, so much more used to it and tbh i find it actually works better than apt most of the time. |

so does the script still work after a decade?
or is there a friendlier method developed for installing Portage on non-Gentoo? |
