I ended up having these runtime dependencies: GNU tar (runtime) Iputils (runtime) GNU coreutils (runtime) Bash (runtime) Util-linux (runtime) GNU grep (runtime) Ncurses (runtime) And it is written in Python with support for 3.4 onwards. I think all those are already present in a cd-stage1 or stage3 :) I'll polish some rough edges before packaging it, then I'll let you know when I have a functional package in my overlay so that it can be reviewed too.

Once it's a little further from the above (esp having a package), releng can potentially include it in the release media (*cd-stage1). Hopefully you have a very minimal set of dependencies for it, because the installcd is quite slim (by gentoo media standards). -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux: Dev, Infra Lead, Foundation Treasurer E-Mail : robb...@gentoo.org GnuPG FP : 11ACBA4F 4778E3F6 E4EDF38E B27B944E 34884E85 GnuPG FP : 7D0B3CEB E9B85B1F 825BCECF EE05E6F6 A48F6136

That's a good idea Andrey :) Once I consider it stable and pretty enough to release the official 0.1 version I'll attach a blog entry showing how to use it on my gentoo blog ;) Thanks, -- Christopher Díaz Riveros Gentoo Linux Developer GPG Fingerprint: E517 5ECB 8152 98E4 FEBC 2BAA 4DBB D10F 0FDD 2547 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Hi, First, my appreciation for your work! I am not going to check it out myself, but I'd enjoy watching a screencast, or at last a series of screenshots, of how it looks and works. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
[gentoo-dev] [RFC] Personall Gentoo Installer project pre-beta release
Good day devs and users: A couple of months ago I shared with you a similar email about my personal project. I'm very glad to say that I'm about to release the 'beta' in a couple of weeks. This beta version adds new stuff like: -experimental TUI interface: Right now it's only designed to enable a user to launch the installer from any specific point from installation (selecting a step from 11 different options). But it is easily scalable to add new windows and steps into the TUI. -internationalization support: Right now installer works on English and Spanish, it would be awesome if any dev with experience in German (Mein Deutsch ist sehr verschlechtert und ich brauche viel Übung), or any other language that you consider would be good to have in the installer. -installer now installs itself inside the new Gentoo system to avoid manual installation inside the new Gentoo system. (Thanks to NP_Hardass for the idea) Still on the TODO list: -next step will be to create an ebuild for installer, I may need some help there but it should be pretty simple. -still some validations: installer error messages are quite hard to understand if you are installing Gentoo for the first time (my fault), so I'll be working on better error messages. -Ask if there is a way to add installer in the liveUSB so that people don't need to install it manually in order to begin a Gentoo installation. As last time, you can see the repo here: https://github.com/ChrisADR/installer Hope you have a great weekend, -- Christopher Díaz Riveros Gentoo Linux Developer GPG Fingerprint: E517 5ECB 8152 98E4 FEBC 2BAA 4DBB D10F 0FDD 2547 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
