Portaris??

Is there a gentoo mailing list for this project, or is it
even still 
alive. I have been using nexenta and schillix in VMWare
sessions, and am 
really excited about the thought of using something that is
more 
gentoo-like. If someone could point me to such a list, I
would really 
appreciate it.

Thanks!
Steve

Hi Steven,

The status of Portaris is unknown to me.  Gentoo/Alt:Prefix
is a
different project, but currently working on Solaris 9 and 10
sparc/x86.

Note however that Prefix is still in an experimental stage.

You can try out
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-alt/pr
efix/bootstrap-solaris.xml

We're interested in hearing how that works out on nexenta or
schillix.

Thanks. I will try it out. What I would really love to see
is something 
like the "standard" gentoo; There is a Universal
CD/DVD, that contains 
just enough software to partition/install an OpenSolaris
kernel (stage1 
and stage2 software tarballs), and everything else comes
from the 
portage system. I really like the Solaris kernel, and
especially the 
ZFS, and nexenta is "nice", but I would really
like to have more control 
over the packages installed. I had thought that Portaris was
a first 
step towards making this happen, and that the gentoo-alt
group was the 
group for "alternate platforms". I will give your
link a looking at when 
I hop into the nexenta VM next, and will let you know how
everything works.

Again, thanks for the response, and sorry if I misunderstood
the nature 
of this list.

It gets pretty far.  Some caveats:

1. ./bootstrap-prefix.sh  does not detect my make version
correctly, so
I needed to make a symlink from /usr/bin/make to
/usr/bin/gmake, and
then everything was happy.

2. The bootstrap process seemed to go fairly well. Only
thing that
didn't work was the ./bootstrap-prefix.sh grep. I got the
following error:

:dfa.c:(.text+0xa96): undefined reference to
`libintl_gettext'
dfa.o:dfa.c:(.text+0xb71): more undefined references to
`libintl_gettext' followcollect2: ld returned 1 exit status
gmake[2]: *** [grep] Error 1
gmake[2]: Leaving directory
`/root/Gentoo/tmp/var/tmp/grep-2.5.1a/grep-2.5.1a/src'
gmake[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory
`/root/Gentoo/tmp/var/tmp/grep-2.5.1a/grep-2.5.1a'
gmake: *** [all] Error 2

I am in the process of bootstrapping portage (and just
skipping the
step, since it seemed to find my system grep (/usr/bin/grep)
just fine.

My particulars:

Nexenta Elatte Alpha 7

uname -a output:

SunOS sparky 5.11 NexentaOS_20070402 i86pc i386 i86pc
Solaris
(running in x86_64 mode).

Bootstrap output:
* Bootstrapping Gentoo prefixed portage installation using
* host: i386-pc-solaris2.11
* prefix: /root/Gentoo/tmp



Hope this helps. Will send more info, if (as) I have further
progress.

Thanks!
Steve

Have you had any problem with lebperl / perl using 5.11?
I had to do a patch for it (sorry, not yet submitted ). Let
me know if
you need it too.

Yes. That is my current little bother. Have been trying to
work through 
it here and there when I get a moment, but a patch would be
*very* helpful.

Thanks!
