This page documents the effort to bootstrap Funtoo Linux using Aboriginal Linux.
The plan of attack is as follows:
- Start from an LFS build, plus necessary stuff for Portage to run.
- Create a package.provided file for the local LFS system so that Portage doesn't complain of unsatisfied /var/db/pkg entries.
- Use Portage to build a stage1 tarball to /tmp/stage1root.
At this point, Funtoo has been bootstrapped and we can extend this approach to bootstrap Funtoo on any architecture.
Prerequisites
- A smaller Portage tree to not eat up so much filesystem space. This has now been implemented. The script /root/git/funtoo-overlay/funtoo/scripts/generate-system-tree.py can be used to generate a system-only Portage tree.
- A package.provided list of a current Funtoo system.
