[necrose99]

helper prompt for URL of stage 3

https://hub.docker.com/r/imiell/bash2py/ could use for pythonic... ver... bash in py out

ie http://distfiles.gentoo.org/experimental/arm64/
stage3 name.. of : stage3-arm64-20180711.tar.bz2 or what ever is ...
check host (not using kvm/qemu in my case...) cpu debian on scaleway is ...arm64
trying to build gentoo docker's with arm64 always a pest with qemu,,,
and chroot is growing ever full.. so i could do my builds push bins to ssh pub host..

have clean gentoo stage4 roots.. my aim..

Could you please edit your issue for clarity and present it in the form:

• What you were trying to do
• What actually happened
• What you expected to happen
• Any other notes

Please be as specific as possible.

For example, 'helper prompt' is unclear. Maybe you could show where in the output of the current tool you would like additional input or options to appear.

Thanks!

build lxc-gentoo for arm64 systems...

http://distfiles.gentoo.org/releases/arm/autobuilds/latest-stage3-arm64.txt
http://distfiles.gentoo.org/releases/arm/autobuilds/latest-stage3-armv7a_hardfp.txt
well a'bout damned time..
can fix my docker's to automagically build.. and now makes adding some arm/arm64 lxc-gentoo supper-powers now possible..

and by helper figured you'd have to begg users for http://distfiles.gentoo.org/experimental/arm64/....
path to the stage.. stage... ie A: normal / b experamenta..... however thank the Dev-gods , they FINALLY added latest-stage3-arm64.txt else you'd have to cut paste name of tarball... ...

anycase I've been tinderboxing in chroot for arm64 , on native arm64 , and lets just say dockerhub or quay.io cough hairballs , when dealing with Qemu , so i need to bang them out in lxc/lxd
slap to tar and push to docker... then push/pull images as needed so my drive/tinder box has nice bins with far less mess. ie mount packages dir , then as build drops bins in...
else , see if someone can fix the qemu to work... latter on...

can use to make builder more portable also..

however looking to snag an Rockpro64 SBC for home use , and with 4 gigs and Sata/m.2 it'll run docker/s or lxc's quite nicely...
hybrid board on amazon for m.2 / sata ports.. so can push bins or rsync srcs off to cold storage..

8 gigs is nice but as the disk keeps shrooming or having to add 50-100 gigs so dose the pain...
https://discord.gg/5yhY9bg dropin pm an pub_ssh key..

and by containering it can have basic , basic-stage-4 , POWER-AB'USER
binpkg-multi-instance /regular tarballs for base xpak for more... advanced features...
