That raises the question, what if you have no kernel config, as may be the case if you are going to Gentoo for the first time, or are cross-compiling from FreeBSD or NetBSD? I have tried with OpenADK (www.openadk.org), which got as far as successfully building cross-gcc some of the time, but never succeeded at building the kernel. Is defconfig the best starting point? One would want to maximize the probability of success building the kernel while retaining a functional system that would support vital hardware including ethernet, wi-fi, hard drives and USB, and I would need to be able to read a NetBSD or FreeBSD file system (UFS/FFSv1 or 2). I use GPT, so there are no traditional now-deprecated BSD disklabels that Linux would not recognize. If I just start with menuconfig, I could miss some vital parts. OpenADK started with a minimal kernel config, maybe it was too minimal? I have successfully compiled kernels and userlands on FreeBSD and NetBSD (no menuconfig, defconfig, etc; kernel configs start with a GENERIC config). NetBSD kernel config is much longer than FreeBSD kernel config but is dwarfed by Linux kernel config. Tom OK, time to spill 'the beans'. OpenADK does not look like a kernel building tool. Booting a minimal state-machine for an embedded device, starts at the bottom of the code blocks. Building a linux kernel, that runs on the bottom of processors, guaged by resources and capabilities has always been a 'pita' that is nothing but duress. As you down the tree of what micro-processors can do, and the limited (kernel/system) resources, limited instruction sets, etc, etc that need is not common and you are best off following a well worn path. Folks that do not deeply understand the lack or limited (uP) resources and the subsequent limitied options available, need to get into a good, university program or go write assemble code on uPs for a few years. In essence, that sort of approach is a giant waste of time. I.E. follow a well worn path and learn to code in C and assembler. Executive, minimal OS and such, written in forth or other such languages are shear folly. C and Assembler, for find something else to do with your time, wisely. However, that said, integrating certain processor family trees into what other, more sophisticated 64 bit arm projects are doing, particularly with low level codes, is a wise idea. Pick your battles wisely. Caveat Emptor! Back to my thread:: An older, existing system is very rich in unique work and codes, at least for me, so I keep old image-systems, around for decades. A Gentoo packrat, as I can quote from very smart people back to 2004, when necessary. Their words were and are true, but, let's focus on virgin/noob (kernel-centric) systems issues. Fast Forward. I use the install disk from CloverOS which does a wonderful job of auto* for recent kernels and many packages. However it is not portage_raw or the myriad of other places to download and install or hack ebuilds; not necessarily of the Gentoo-approved feedstock. ymmv. CloverOS will give you a clean, new kernel, but lacks a window system (I do not use anything big, regardless of system resources) that is functional but not robust, imho. But 10 (15 max) minutes for a gentoo install is just freaking awesome, btrfs and a new kernel 5.* kernel. I have not tried to just copy over a kernel and associated file, but that is on the list as I have (3) identical AMD systems, 64bit, with AMD video cards and 32 G of DDR3 memory. But I shall just try to copy over a kernel derived from the CloverOS gentoo to an indentical hardware system running a version 3.18 james-derived-and-build linux kernel, just to see what happens. So a hybrid technique to rapidly test pre-built kernels, in an automated fashion, then going back and duplicating the same kernel-builds-tests from a kernel-gentoo-source-package, would be and attractive experiment to me. One off (which is what we do as a gentoo collective of hacks) kernels with the build-test-repeat cycle seems like an arcane semantic for a collective of experts (or fledgling gentoo-soon-to-be-experts)in this day and age (strictly of my opine).

[gentoo-user] !!! section ‘local’ in repos.conf has name different from ...
Hi, everyone, I’m trying to install steam-overlay using https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Steam I have 3 boxes on which I try to maintain gentoo setups as identical as possible. The steam install has gone smoothly on 2 boxes, but is failing on the 3rd. When I get to this steam installation step on the 3rd box: # emaint sync —repo steam-overlay I get the error !!! Section ‘local’ in repos.conf has name different from repository ‘steam-overlay’ set inside repository which prevents me from syncing and installing steam on this machine. I’m interpreting this as the two repositories (local and steam-overlay) somehow knowing about each other and somehow getting their configurations intertwined. My repos.conf directory on this 3rd machine is identical to the other 2 machines (which don’t exhibit this error). .../repos.conf/local.conf maintains a local overlay in /usr/local/portage for a handful of personal packages/ebuilds. .../repos.conf/steam-overlay.conf maintains its overlay in /usr/local/portage/steam-overlay. Neither of these two files contain the other overlay’s name, i.e., local.conf doesn’t refer to steam-overlay nor does steam-overlay.conf refer to local. The two files point to different storage locations for their respective repositories. So I don’t understand how these two repositories know of each other’s existence. Or maybe I don’t understand the error message. Google doesn’t report many instances of this error, and following up with them hasn’t produced a solution. Any ideas about what’s happening?

What are your constraints... are you using bash, or just any POSIX
shell? Can you rely on GNU extensions to find/xargs, etc? Is
do_something a shell command or a program?
Even with bash, find/xargs tends to fall down if you need to run a
series of shell commands on each thing found. The simplest way to handle
that is to use "while read..." with the bash-specific null separator to
loop through the files one at a time, like in
https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/portage.git/tree/bin/install-qa-check.d/90bad-bin-owner
If you want it to be portable, on the other hand, I recently wasted
several hours on this problem and it's not pretty. Something like,
find -name 'whatever' \
-exec sh -c "
for f in \"\${@}\"; do
do_stuff \"\${f}\" && echo \"\${f}\"
done
" - {} +
will do it.

Hi Rich,
these [CENSORED] filenames are mainly copies from the contents of
usbstick, which were previoysly filled using machines, which were
neither UNICES nor Linuxxes nor MacOSxxes ... you know what I mean.
I myself stick to sane filenames.
Detox is known to me. But for certain reasons I cannot change the
filenames now...I have to process them first.

That, or use ${fn} - that might be more resistant to quotes in
filenames though I haven't looked closely into that.
If you look at most ebuilds they're full of quoted or braced variables
for exactly this reason. If you want to stick spaces in your
directory paths that is your mess to deal with, but Gentoo won't
break.
On a side note, if you have a directory full of crufty filenames the
detox program is very useful for cleaning them up. Of course, that is
invasive and you probably don't want to rely on that in your script.

[gentoo-user] display repo in emerge list?
hi - any way to display which repository a package is being installed/updated from when emerging something? e.g. when doing `emerge -aqvDuUNt @world`, i see a tree of packages, but i don't know from which repository are they coming. this concerns me since i got 2 overlays added, and it would be useful for me to verify that i'm not accidently emerging the wrong package from a layman repo that i had for something else. (extra question to keep you isolated a lil longer: some one laughed at my `-aqvDuUNt` but didn't tell me why. is there anything stupid about it?) rgrds, cm.

It shows the repository for me when I use my command. I assume you would get the same if you removed -q (quiet) from your command, which might override or interfere with your -v (verbose).
