But it is also counting the Changelog, which is very long
<merakor2>
Almost a quarter of the repository
<Digit>
though also, i should have said: "figures /only/ around double i imagined", since at this small, it's still barely past breathing room for anything meaningful.
<merakor2>
Yeah, 3000 is pretty small compared to most package managers
...
<raph_ael>
merakor: it stops booting at very early stage, maybe some things in kernel conf is not ok
<raph_ael>
I used gentoo from 2000 to 2004 but it broke too much, and recompiling everything each time was a lot more of a pain at this time :)
...
<merakor>
Does it give an error?
<merakor>
If your kernel boot parameter has "quiet" you can remove it from grub
...
<raph_ael>
i'll try it tomorrow
...
<raph_ael>
merakor: strangely "execvp: no such file or directory"
<raph_ael>
for many of kernels I tried/built
<merakor>
Huh let me look into it
<raph_ael>
maybe I missed something in install phases
<merakor>
I have updated the installation page
<merakor>
Did you install carbs-init
<merakor>
Maybe the init is missing?
<merakor>
s/init is/init scripts are/
<raph_ael>
I installed sinit and carbs-init
<raph_ael>
I'll try again
<raph_ael>
I think I made an horrible noob error
<raph_ael>
I forgot fstab
<raph_ael>
well that's not the problem
<merakor>
Yeah the root partition can be mounted without fstab
<merakor>
Can be an sinit issue, can you try switching back to busybox init/reboot/poweroff and try
<merakor>
If that's the case I will look into sinit
<raph_ael>
I try, thanks for your help
<merakor>
Sure thing
...
<merakor2>
raph_ael: Did you try that?
<raph_ael>
can't run /usr/lib/init/rc.boot
<merakor>
Okay so the issue is carbs-init
<merakor>
If carbs-init is installed, can you send the output of <cpt man carbs-init>
<raph_ael>
I'll reinstall it
<merakor2>
After installing check the manifest and make sure /usr/lib/init/rc.boot exists
<raph_ael>
ok
<raph_ael>
ah /etc/profiles.d has disappeared ?
<merakor>
Yeah, I have removed cpt-path.sh from the cpt package and removed the repository from the tarball
<merakor>
To not hard code the repository to a static place
<merakor>
So users can choose between git and rsync repositories when they are setting up, and place the repository wherever they like
<raph_ael>
it boots thanks, seems I did cpt b carbs-init and forgot i
<raph_ael>
the void way for repo is nice, as you can override
<raph_ael>
I understand your point of view, but it can be strange not to have any repos available at firts
<raph_ael>
first
<merakor>
Yeah it is somewhat strange, but it also gives hands-on experience for repositories and CPT_PATH which is essential information for the distribution in my opinion.
<raph_ael>
/etc files are less prone to rm than files in home :)
<raph_ael>
strangely in /dev root is a symlink to sda1 which leads to a ro / at boot and /dev/root as /
<raph_ael>
ok seems I did a lot of cpt b and forgot to install afterwards
<merakor>
You can add a shell function on your profile/shellrc for that
