Overview
This guide explains, what you need to do during the installation of your Multi-Node Installation.
Prepare your stoney cloud installation for the update
<= 1.2.10.3
If you have a productive (releases) stoney cloud Installation, execute the following command:
echo 'PORTAGE_BINHOST="http://packages.stoney-cloud.org/stoney-cloud/releases/1.2/packages"' >> /etc/portage/make.conf
If you have a test (pre-releases) stoney cloud Installation instead, execute the following command:
echo 'PORTAGE_BINHOST="http://packages.stoney-cloud.org/stoney-cloud/pre-releases/1.2/packages"' >> /etc/portage/make.conf
IMPORTANT: Even a pre-release ISO may result in a stable installation, depending on when it was generated in the release cycle. Please verify by executing git branch in /usr/portage and /var/lib/layman/foss-cloud whether this is the case, and switch to the testing branch if needed (that is: if the branch displayed does not contain the words pre or testing. If the branch is empty, that means you have a brand new installation without anything yet. In that case, directly check the configuration files /usr/portage/.git/config and/or /var/lib/layman/foss-cloud/.git/config to see which branch it would check out upon emerge --sync and from where.).
>= 1.2.10.4
Execute the following command to register the binary package mirror (since for now there will be only pre-releases, but with better quality than FOSS-Cloud releases):
echo 'PORTAGE_BINHOST="http://packages.stoney-cloud.org/stoney-cloud/pre-releases/1.2/packages"' >> /etc/portage/make.conf # Disable the SYNC from rsync since newer portage versions otherwise won't accept a portage tree via git sed -i -e 's|^SYNC|#SYNC|' /etc/portage/make.conf
Update
Makes sure, your local portage tree is updated:
emerge --sync
Now you can make sure, that you've got the current stoney cloud version installed:
emerge -KuDva virtual/foss-cloud
Local copy of remote index is up-to-date and will be used. These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! Total: 0 packages, Size of downloads: 0 kB * virtual/foss-cloud-1.2.10.4 Would you like to add these packages to your world favorites? [Yes/No] '''no'''
If you have updated you stoney cloud, you might want to sanely update your configuration files after emerging new packages (including updates):
dispatch-conf
Installing Software Examples
Per default, the stoney cloud expects you to install binary packages. So if you don't pass any special parameters to the emerge command, the binary package (if it exists) will be used.
Binary Package
Per default, the stoney cloud expects you to install binary packages, which can be seen with [binary R ] output.
emerge -va git
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[binary R ] dev-vcs/git-1.7.12.4 USE="blksha1 curl iconv nls pcre perl threads webdav -cgi -cvs -doc -emacs -gpg -gtk -highlight (-ppcsha1) -python -subversion {-test} -tk -xinetd" 5,295 kB
Total: 1 package (1 reinstall, 1 binary), Size of downloads: 5,295 kB
Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No] no
Quitting.
Force Non-Binary Package
If you force a non-binary package, the output will be in the form of [ebuild R ].
FEATURES="-getbinpkg" emerge -va git
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N ] app-arch/cpio-2.11 USE="nls" 995 kB
[ebuild R ] dev-vcs/git-1.7.12.4 USE="blksha1 curl iconv nls pcre perl threads webdav -cgi -cvs -doc -emacs -gpg -gtk -highlight (-ppcsha1) -python -subversion {-test} -tk -xinetd" 4,523 kB
Total: 2 packages (1 new, 1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 5,518 kB
Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No]
No Binary Package Exists
The following example shows you a package with no existing binary package, therefore the package must be compiled on the fly, shown with [ebuild N ].
emerge -va htop
Local copy of remote index is up-to-date and will be used. These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild N ] sys-process/htop-1.0.2 USE="unicode -openvz -vserver" 380 kB Total: 1 package (1 new), Size of downloads: 380 kB Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No]

Basic Testing Steps
Get your stoney cloud image:
