Weren't we just talking about people proposing work for other projects without consulting them... ;] Anyway, catalyst 2.0, which is what the current HEAD version of catalyst will become once it is released, has a "stage4" target, which is capable of adding or subtracting packages from a stage3, or rebuilding them with new USE flags. Added with the recently added portage 2.0.51.22, which does proper USE flag checking when using both --usepkg and --newuse, we can easily create a rescue tarball. I don't think that catalyst2 will be ready in time for the next release, however, as we were not planning on rocking the boat quite that much for the release. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead/QA Manager Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
