catalyst - adding FEATURES

[oneghost]

Im trying to use catalyst to generate stages for PS3 CELL CPU (PPC64). Im using this on aarch64 host, so I need to resort to using qemu-ppc64 as an interpreter. The problem Im facing is that in order for it to work, I need to add this entry to guest make.conf:

Code: Select all

FEATURES="-pid-sandbox -network-sandbox"

I was only able to add it manually by editing /var/tmp/catalyst/tmp/stage1*/etc/make.conf, after the script initially fails. I feel that there should be better way to implement this behavior, but couldn't find the way to do this. I tried adding it to /etc/catalyst/catalystrc, and few other options, but none worked. Is there some way to achieve this in better way?

I'm not sure if you found a solution. But I thought I'd post just in case and for anyone else. You could try to use make.defaults it may not work depending on what order files are sources for variables. This is how I built a stage3 with global ~amd64 keywords though. This would go inside the profile directory. make.defaults should accept any variables that make.conf would accept too. only add what you need on there though as this overrides variables set in the main profiles make.defaults in the repository.
