Funtoo Updates
Published in HelloToYou - 02-10-2008
Some quick updates:
Per request on this blog, I am now building ~pentium4 Funtoo (unstable) stages which can be downloaded here.
For the past few weeks, all my stage3’s have been about 15MB smaller than they were before due to the fact that I only build the en_US ISO-8859-1 and en_US UTF-8 locales by default. If you need to add any additional locales, edit the /etc/locale.gen file appropriately and then run the “locale-gen” command as root.
Starting with the October 1st ~x86 build, all Funtoo (unstable) stage3 builds now include dhcpcd and git. Gentoo stage3’s that I build do not contain any extra packages.
I have updated my git Portage repository at http://github.com/funtoo/portage/tree/master, and it now contains three branches - master, which has a README file and LICENSE file in it, gentoo.org which contains the official Gentoo Portage tree, and funtoo.org which contains the Funtoo tree. I’ve updated my wiki documentation so that it explains how to use it. The only part of the documentation that I haven’t updated is the advanced part that explains how to fork the tree. If you want to fork the tree on GitHub, I recommend creating your own branch. This is as easy as typing “git branch foobar.com” (your domain) with the funtoo.org branch active. I’ll update the docs with instructions on how to get your branch to show up on GitHub real soon now.
Work on Metro has been going along well too.
