not to be picky, but he wasnt a toolchain maintainer ... he maintained some |
| 6 |
base packages (like grub), but not the toolchain |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
not to say his guides arent good, information coming from him on the forum is |
| 9 |
generally high quality stuff |

there is a base-system group who maintains most "system" type packages (things |
| 16 |
like bootloaders, filesystem apps, etc...) and then there is a toolchain |
| 17 |
group who manages just the compiler packages (binutils, glibc, gcc, etc...) |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
generally the core people in both groups are the same people though ;) |

the devmanual goes into autotool details now ... but that's geared towards |
| 25 |
helping Gentoo developers identify/fix common bugs/mistakes |
