That looks good. Good call changing everything over to bsdtar. I'm currently working on an update and have a number of uncommitted changes. As soon as I release the next update, I'll merge this. |
Makes it so the emerge command rebuilds packages if they need to be rebuilt with a new USE flag (i.e. lvm). --update is used instead of --noreplace to achieve this behaviour. --ask is used instead of --autounmask to avoid angering people by forcing changed to their configs, instead asking and allowing them to do it themselves if necessary.

I switched out checks for
zip,unzip, andunrar-freein the main script to only a bsdtar checkI switched the package lists for all distros to pull
libarchive(containsbsdtar) instead of those three packages (including nix)I added a Gentoo section that checks for
device-mappersupport in-kernel, and installs the required packagesI changed all calls for
zip,unzip, andunrar-freein all scripts in the repo to the drop-inbsdtarequivalent.I tested the new script on both Debian, and the Gentoo LiveCD.
I don't believe this requires extensive testing on all distros, as I have verified the package lists, and parity of functionality between the previous calls for
zip,unzip, andunrar-freewith newbsdtarcommands. The Gentoo support does not affect other distros as the script never gets that far.I also updated README.md to mention Gentoo support.
