As far as I understand, when open-embedded was thinking on |
| 10 |
how to design their build system, there where people that |
| 11 |
liked the idea and works of portage, but the problem was |
| 12 |
that at that point portage was quite far form crosscompiling |
| 13 |
form one arch into another. And to make it crosscompile |
| 14 |
there it needed to be changed substantially. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
So they decided to make their portage alike (+ some other |
| 17 |
nice features) build system specifically designed for |
| 18 |
crosscompiling. |

|

On the other hand, gentoo (this includes gentoo-embedded) |
| 21 |
is designed for the situation where host arch = target arch. |
| 22 |
(It looks like there is some active development in adding |
| 23 |
crosscompilation capabilities to portage, but I don't |
| 24 |
have any knowledge about the state of this or what direction |
| 25 |
is it taking.) |
