Gentoo News
Sweet! Gentoo smart people have released/made public an Unofficial Gentoo Development Guide [firedrop.org.uk]. This bad boy sports such topics as how to write ebuilds and how to effectively use the GNU toolchain for building. Obviously it's a work-in-progress aka living document and therefore has a lot of room for improvement, but the initial release looks *very* informative. This might just lead to a plethora of specialized ebuilds that could easily be thrown around in portage overlays. Say...specific ebuilds for Mini-ITX boards providing specific flags, patches, etc. I mean a portage overlay could be created for each EPIA board providing something like a Board Support Package (BSP) for Gentoo-based systems. Hmm....
