It hadn't been updated since before catalyst 1.1.9 (or earlier) so it wasn't in any usable state. In fact, it being available caused more bugs and questions than it answered, so I removed it until such time as we can find someone to completely re-write it from scratch. Also, this should probably go to gentoo-catalyst mailing list now... ;] -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead Games - Developer Gentoo Linux signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Thanks for the clarification Chris. On a semi-related matter I was looking for the catalyst .spec files, and see a thread pointing at cvs, however I believe that as a non-dev mortal I can't get access to gentoo cvs. Is that so? If it is then how does one get the spec files? The old catalyst howto seems to have disappeared too. > -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

They were built by the Release Engineering team using the exact same specifications as the rest of the media. Currently, these are only available from the Friends of Gentoo e.V. tracker. We hope to have them available from the store shortly. Unfortunately, we just don't have the resources on our community mirrors for hosting them. > Also is "athlon-xp" compatible with "athlon"?

[gentoo-dev] Clarification of packages cd's for 2005.1
I am looking at building a box this weekend. I want to use 2005.1 and if possible the packages cd (for a quick result) . I have an athlon 1133. I am re-building it after a root account compromise (don't ask or I'll cry). According to the release announcement the package cd's don't seem to have an athlon version any more. http://www.gentoo.org/news/20050808-annoncement-release-2005.1.xml (the choices seem to be alpha amd64 ppc (32 bit) ppc (64 bit) sparc64 x86). However on http://tracker.netdomination.org/ there are package cd's for a whole lot of other sub-arches - i686, athlon-xp, P3, P4 and more. Are these official gentoo - if not can anyone tell me about their origin and reliability? Also is "athlon-xp" compatible with "athlon"? Or should I go for i686? Actually using i686 could be a bonus as it would mean I could share binaries between my desktop and my p3 laptop, which is compiled for 686. -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
