# Building `rootfs-*.tar.gz`
The root filesystem tarball is based on [Gentoo][]'s stage3s (e.g. the
[amd64 stage3][stage3-amd64]). We check for a valid [GnuPG
signature][gentoo-signatures]), copying a [minimal
subset](rootfs-files) to the root filesytem, and adding symlinks for
all BusyBox commands. To rebuild the tarball based on a newer stage3,
run:
```
$ touch get-stage3.sh
$ make rootfs-amd64.tar.gz
```
## Platform tarballs
The extraction requires a local machine capable of executing the
extracted BusyBox. Extraction assumes amd64, but if your local
machine is a different platform, set `ARCHES`. For example:
```
$ make ARCHES='i486 i686 amd64'
```
The architecture identifiers can be found by browsing Gentoo's
[releases][] for `autobuilds/latest-stage3-{arch}.txt`. Examples
include:
* `amd64` (the default)
* `arm64`
* `arm7a`
* `i486`
* `i686`
* `ppc64-64ul`
and many more.
## Getting Gentoo's Release Engineering public key
If `make rootfs-….tar.gz` gives an error like:
```
gpg --verify downloads/stage3-amd64-current.tar.bz2.DIGESTS.asc
gpg: Signature made Thu 14 Jan 2016 09:00:11 PM EST using RSA key ID 2D182910
gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found
```
you will need to [add the missing public key to your
keystore][gentoo-signatures]. One way to do that is by [asking a
keyserver][recv-keys]:
```
$ gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys 2D182910
```
