baseinstall cannot continue

[renshijun]

when I follow the bootstrap readme.md , ./venom/baseinstall cannot continue. It is scratch install -d xxx that says xxx is not installed.

scratch install --no-dep readline
Package 'readline' not installed.

when I look at the scratch file, the problem may be

installpkg() {

   if [ "$NO_DEP" = 1 ]; then
            for ii in ${PKGNAME[@]}; do
                    if [ ! $(getportpath $ii) ]; then
                            echo "Package '$ii' not found."
                    elif ! isinstalled $ii; then                            #here 
                            echo "Package '$ii' not installed."
                            return 1
                    else
                            pushd $(getportpath $ii)
                                    pkgbuild -i --no-hook ${OPTS[@]}
                                    if [ $? != 0 ]; then

hey,
its been a while i'm updating bootstrap script and since then scratchpkg got many changes.
i will take a look at bootstrap script soon.

btw, you can get the iso of this distro at here

The iso boot smoothely to the splash screen. But either boot venom or debug selection goes to:
Booting the kernel.
Encountered a problem!
Dropping you to a shell.
sh: cannot set terminal process group (-1):
sh: no job control in this shell
sh-4.4#

Its initramfs inside the iso bugs. Also happen to my friend's laptop yesterday. Initramfs script does not load necessary modules for usb port and cant detect thumbdrive that contain venom iso. It should work just fine in virtualbox.
To bad i found the bugs right after i upload the iso. The bugs has been fixed and I will upload new iso in few days.

Alternatively you can create your own iso using script here but its gonna take a long time if you include many packages because you need to compile everything.

[renshijun]

I hope to see your new perfect iso.

[renshijun]

I have tested your new xorg iso. It is failed to get the splash screen. can load the ilinux.c32?

[emmett1]

Thats weird never had that problem before.
How did you burn the iso?

[renshijun]

I have tested your new xorg iso. It is failed to get the splash screen. can load the ilinux.c32? the base iso boot up ok.

[renshijun]

the mate iso is downloading now. I will try it. I use dd if=venom.....iso of=/dev/sdx. xorg iso cannot bootup.

[emmett1]

owh ok, i will double check the xorg iso. btw, did you check the checksum of the xorg iso? maybe the file got corrupted, or the file got corrupted while i upload yesterday.

[renshijun]

oh, I didn't check the checksum. wait....

[renshijun]

[rsj@rsj-pc ~]$ md5sum venom-xorg-1.0-20181230.iso
c6a88b1c5d42433f54048ae7c1216357 venom-xorg-1.0-20181230.iso
[rsj@rsj-pc ~]$

[renshijun]

The md5sum is equal to the sum of what you uploaded.

[emmett1]

i think i'm upload the corrupted iso, its different md5sum on my main pc which i created the iso.
maybe it got corrupted when i copy to my external drive yesterday.
i will reupload the iso later.
for now use another working iso.
thanks for testing and the report :D

[emmett1]

hey, new iso for xorg now updated.

[renshijun]

The mate iso is ok. now I write this message in the mate live mode. congratulation!!!
