So this is version 1 of the new script to automate catalyst builds. There is a catalyst-auto from gentoo-releng, but 1. my needs for this purpose are much simpler than what catalyst-auto provides and 2. writing this script is proving to be fun.

Suggestions are always welcome. #!/bin/sh ### PART 1: UPDATE SEED # Get text file describing latest stage3 tarball. # -O option circumvents wget…
Development Continues
So I live in the country now and don’t have access to broadband at home. I either do everything on my phone or use my phone’s hotspot – which, while generous, is still limited. This has been getting in my way as far as development on Gentoo Studio goes. But I’m not okay with this,…
Progress report
While things are not completely back in action yet, I have gotten things where I want them on a local dev machine and uploaded an updated stage4 tarball. It has been repeatedly tested using both the manual and automatic install methods. My test install machine is a VM, so I may not have covered all…
Development Renews
After a year or so of not being able to stay on top of things due to a major transition in life, I’m now renewing my efforts to maintain Gentoo Studio. Currently, the stage4 tarball is in flux as I work things out and make improvements. If you find any issues, please let me know…

Bye-bye, Beta
I am officially declaring Gentoo Studio to be out of beta. For the most part, it installs well either manually or using the install script, and all of the components that make Gentoo Studio Gentoo Studio actually work. As usual, please continue to let me know if you have any issues, and I will do…

Tracktion Waveform and Gentoo

I just wrote to their support department asking if they have a Linux installer that unpacks and installs Linux binaries without depending on a .deb file. While I was able to unpack the 30-day trial .deb file and…
