Hi,
I already posted some initial images on tinderbox.

http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/virtualization/amd64/

Some weeks old by now. But I am fairly confident that image building
can be made automatic via scripting. Granted, I did not make an
announcement of my latest images just the old ones[1], it is just a
pet project for me in its current state. It is extremely easy to make
a new image for others with the weekly automated builds now.

[gentoo-dev] gentoo KVM images now available :)

2009-03-13 Thread alex . alexander

Hello :)

I've created some KVM images to aid Gentoo Developers and
the KDE herd in ebuild development and maintainance.

Two images are currently available: [1]
an X-less ~x86 with various tools preinstalled [like layman]
and
a copy of the first ~x86 with kdebase-meta[kdeprefix] and a
few other packages installed on top of it

The portage tree is in a separate image, along with binary
packages of most stuff installed in the two images.
(a bz2 of the tree is in /usr just in case)

The images are available at dev.gentooexperimental.org [1].
Please read the README [2] for instructions and more information :)

An image with -kdeprefix kde is also en route.

I would really appreciate feedback on the images:
* things you liked
* things missing
* things you'd do differently
either through these mailing lists or in freenode/#gentoo-kde
so I can make future revisions better and more useful!

Cool! How did you make these? Can you make them with Catalyst?

Actualy i think alex did them as normal gentoo instalation :]. But instead of 
installing onto normal pc he installed into kvm image.

When i tried catalyst few months back it was quite broken for few cases it is 
working fine nowdays? (No flame please i will be really happy to hear that 
catalyst is nowdays robust and working as expected.)

If you can break it while not feeding it garbage (GIGO applies
otherwise), then I think releng would like to hear from you, since it's
running near daily on some releng box for the autobuilds that have been
going out for a couple of months now.

Thomas nailed it, I created the clean one from scratch, then cp'd it and 
created the kde one on top of it.

More/updated images will pop up sooner or later too =]
