I am trying to get this old dream to fly again: Building a root fs in my own sysroot (other that /usr/CHOST ) as a normal user because the good old /usr/CHOST as root doesn't really fly in a multi developer project where people expect to be able build stuff as a normal user and being able to have multiple versions of root fs installed.
I could not even build glibc: > SYSROOT=/usr/local/src/X-5000/root PKGDIR=/usr/local/src/X-5000/overlay/packages DISTDIR=/usr/local/src/X-5000/overlay/distfiles ROOT=/usr/local/src/X-5000/root emerge-x86_64-tm-linux-gnu -a --nodeps sys-libs/glibc .... /usr/bin/install: cannot change ownership of '/usr/x86_64-tm-linux-gnu/tmp/portage/sys-libs/glibc-2.17/image//usr/lib/misc/glibc/pt_chown': Operation not permitted I got fakeroot installed but seems like emerge ignores that somehow. Is this just a futile dream still? Jocke
