<mid-kid>Finished updating my gentoo bootstrap <mid-kid>It's just already out of date, some distfiles are already missing from the gentoo distfiles mirror... <mid-kid>A few bugs I encountered with this one were fixed upstream too, so I'll be bumping it soon-ish. <mid-kid>uploading the distfiles for this to archive.org <mid-kid>Jesus, I started working on this in july.... <mid-kid>Anyway, this time around the instructions build a gentoo prefix in order to avoid depending on the precise state of live-bootstrap. <mid-kid>A lot can be improved to reduce the amount of stuff built while bootstrapping the prefix, I hope to improve that a little bit <mid-kid>and hopefully make a live-bootstrap fork that just includes these instructions. <lanodan>Kind of wonder why there's some like coreutils-5.0.tar.bz2 and diffutils-2.7.tar.gz isn't that part of the bootstrapping handled by live-bootstrap? <deesix>Note that iaNNNN type of URLs are not stable, IIRC (the item could be moved between hosts). They recommend linking the canonical one, instead. <mid-kid>lanodan: they need to be rebuilt for x86_64 <mid-kid>also the archive.org contains all the distfiles of live-bootstrap + the gentoo parts <mid-kid>I do wonder why both coreutils-9.5 and coreutils-9.7 show up <mid-kid>I guess 9.7 wasn't stabilized for both x86 and amd64 in the ::gentoo snapshot I'm using <mid-kid>oh huh, other way around, 9.7 was stabilized for x86 in may, and for amd64 in september.
