catalyst.conf file option list

The following table provides a list of catalyst.conf file options and their descriptions.

Option Description

digests Creates a .DIGESTS file containing the hash output from each of the selected hashes. To see a list of supported hashes, run $ python3 -c 'import hashlib; print(hashlib.algorithms_available)'. Example: digests = ["blake2b", "sha512"]

envscript envscript file allows users to set options such as http proxies, MAKEOPTS, GENTOO_MIRRORS, or any other environment variables needed for building. The envscript file sets environment variables like so: export FOO="bar". Example: envscript = "/etc/catalyst/catalystrc"

options

options sets different of the below listed build-time options for catalyst. Example: options = ["ccache", "keepwork"]

Item	Description
`"autoresume"`	Attempt to resume a failed build, clear the autoresume flags with the -a option to the catalyst cmdline. -p will clear the autoresume flags as well as your pkgcache and kerncache
`"bindist"`	Enables the bindist USE flag, please see package specific definition, however, it is suggested to enable this if redistributing builds. This optional USE flag is normally cleaned from the make.conf file on completion of the stage. For a non-cleaned version, use sticky-config also (see below)
`"ccache"`	Enables FEATURES=ccache
`"distcc"`	Enables FEATURES=distcc. Make sure to set distcc_hosts too.
`"icecream"`	Enables FEATURES=icecream
`"keepwork"`	Prevents the removal of the working chroot path and any autoresume files or points.
`"kerncache"`	Keeps a tbz2 file of your built kernel and modules (useful if your build stops in livecd-stage2)
`"pkgcache"`	Build and use binary packages
`"seedcache"`	Use the build output of a previous target if it exists rather than the tarball
`"sticky-config"`	enables the code that will keep any internal 'catalyst_use' flags added to the USE= for building the stage. These are usually added for legal or specific needs in building the the early stage. Mostly it is the 'bindist' USE flag option that is used for legal reasons, please see its specific definition. It will also keep any /etc/portage/package.* files or directories.

port_logdir port_logdir is where all build logs will be kept. This directory will be automatically cleaned of ALL files over 7 days old. If left undefined the logs will remain in the build directory and get cleaned every time a stage build is restarted. Example: port_logdir = "/var/tmp/catalyst/logs"

var_tmpfs_portage var_tmpfs_portage will mount a tmpfs for /var/tmp/portage so building takes place in RAM this feature requires a pretty large tmpfs ({open,libre}office needs ~8GB to build) WARNING: If you use too much RAM everything will fail horribly and it is not our fault. Set size of /var/tmp/portage tmpfs in gigabytes. Example: var_tmpfs_portage = 16

jobs Integral value passed to emerge as the parameter to --jobs and is used to define MAKEOPTS during the target build. Example: jobs = 4

load-average Floating-point value passed to emerge as the parameter to --load-average and is used to define MAKEOPTS during the target build. Example: load-average = 4.0

binhost If you want catalyst to drop a binrepos.conf into /etc/portage, then define the binhost here. This value is concatenated with the configuration option binrepo_path in the spec file to obtain the src-uri. Example: binhost = "https://gentoo.osuosl.org/releases/"

subarch The subarch simply sets the CHOST and CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS accordingly for the system, finer tuning can be achieved by looking in the toml files located in /usr/share/catalyst/arch.

version_stamp The version stamp is used as an identifier for the build. On the autobuilds the date is utilized for this setting, however it can be anything the user desires. This parameter will be used on the output tarball, (${target}-${ARCH}-${version_stamp}.tar.bz2), temporary directories, etc...

pkgcache_path This allows the optional directory containing the output packages for catalyst. Mainly used as a way for different .spec files to access the same cache directory. Default behavior is for this location to be auto-generated by catalyst based on the .spec file.
