[I'm resending this, because I never saw it come through last week.] In the olden days, the livecd herd was basically wolf31o2 and covered any packages that releng had a passing interest in, even if not directly used during the release building process. Since wolf31o2 retired over a year ago, many of the packages owned by the livecd herd have basically become unmaintained (except for the ones that I myself have an interest in).
If you are interested in any of the below packages, feel free to steal it (and change the maintainer and herd bit in the metadata.xml). app-arch/pbzip2 - We pondered using it at some point to take advantage of all the shiny new multi-proc boxes that releng and its members had laying around app-admin/pwgen - This is used by the LiveCD to generate a "random" password. It looks like upstream hasn't touched this since it was last bumped in the tree. dev-python/pyparted - Used by the now defunct GLI sys-apps/hwdata-gentoo - Data used by sys-apps/hwsetup sys-apps/hwsetup - Used for hardware (video mostly) detection for LiveCD sys-apps/parted - Required by dev-python/pyparted sys-fs/squashfs-tools - Used by catalyst to create loop image sys-libs/libkudzu - needed by sys-apps/hwsetup -- Andrew Gaffney http://dev.gentoo.org/~agaffney/ Gentoo Linux Developer Catalyst/Genkernel + Release Engineering Lead
