Hi, I just checked out the newest branches/2.2.4 and branches/2.2.5 from svn as described in ​http://www.mondorescue.org/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/wiki/DistributionPackaging.

After installeing jadetex and docbook2ps I could run "tools/svn2build" and it created the tar and zip files for mondo-doc mindi mindiy-busybox and mondo.

But I could not use "tools/build2pkg" and so I began debugging and found out that build2pkg tries to extract files for gentoo-1.12 from the .tar.gz, but of course the files in the .tar.gz where are named gentoo-1.6. After more debugging I found out that the distro-env read the gentoo version is from /etc/gentoo-release.

Problem is, that in newer baselayouts this file gets updated with the current baselayout number which is at the moment baselayout-1.12.9-r2 which writes the following into /etc/gentoo-release

Gentoo Base System release 1.12

So, I changed this to

Gentoo Base System release 1.6

and then build2pkg worked perfectly. The problem is that this file will be overwritte when the next baselayout is released with the next baselayout version. So, build2pkg must somehow be updated to use the version 1.6 (the version which is in the svn tree) on gentoo systems and not what's written in /etc/gentoo-release.

Remark from Andree: the current parted2fdisk.pl works only with the outdated parted 1.6. In 1.7 the output format is substantially different. I think there is definitely a bit of an issue in supporting both versions.

Does any one has performed backup to USB via mindi. Is can you put instruction how to do this.

Thanks
