 Posted: Fri Oct 03, 2014 7:04 pm Post subject: awk is missing after stage4 clone |
 |
|
I made a stage 4 using this script ( http://blinkeye.ch/dokuwiki/doku.php/projects/mkstage4 ) and extracted it into an identical laptop, i than found that env-update was missing. to fix that i cleared the drive and started by extracting a stage3 than extracted the stage4 on top of it. now ive found that awk is missing.
so i have a few questions:
1: is there a better way to clone a os, i've tried clonezilla but it wasn't able to unpack on a different system (or is there a specific way to clonezilla a system for transfer to similar systems with different hdd's)?
2:can one emerge awk? i know there's the virtual/awk but that requires awk. which ebuild might have awk?

Not familiar with that script. Alas, it's possible that other things are missing. Awk is provided by sys-apps/gawk, which is part of the @system set, which means your clone is borked. Emerge gawk --oneshot, like so (if it will): | Code: | | emerge --oneshot gawk |
However, it would probably be better use of your time to do a more correct clone.

Yes, rsync or rsnapshot would be a much more elegant solution.
Your stage4 problems are quite puzzling. I've done a few of those myself, but I never experience anything like that. I would say that an emerge -e @system and possibly and emerge -e @world might be a reasonable precaution.

Seems your mkstage4 script abandoned (last update at 2005).
Why wouldn't to go a straightforward stage4 creation way:

it's pretty simple and clear. |

| off topic: but they do not stayed on the old path that some directories should do what they were intended to do. you may run into problems. File system hiearchy standard or what it was called in teh old days. |
