Overview

  • Base chroot environment for the creation of most binary packages which will be copied to the Binary Package Server.
  • Packages, which don't need to be built, for example Oracle's Java SE Development Kit (JDK), can be fetched from the Mirror Server.
  • Software stacks built upon specialized binary packages, require their own chroot environment. If possible, avoid this.
  • For reproducibility, Portage and Profiles are frozen with the help of version control system (git in our case). This is only done on the Mirror Server.
  • When building packages in a chroot environment, the portage and overlay versions need to set.

Chroot Setup

Preparation

At least the following is required beforehand to ensure reproducible building:

  • a versioned portage tree
  • versioned overlays (if any)

Setup

Create a staging root and extract a stage3 or stage4 tarball:

root # mkdir -p /var/staging/staging-base
root #
tar -xjpf /var/tmp/your-stage4.tbz2 -C /var/staging/staging-base
