Thank you for your advice. It's good to hear that someone else is in a |
2 |
similar scenario. |

The only thing that's going to be a hard sell around here is Catalyst -- |
5 |
our senior sysadmin (who is a considerably more seasoned Gentoo user |
6 |
than myself) has taken the position that using Catalyst is unnecessary |
7 |
and that emerge (targeting a chroot, with appropriate FEATURES set to |
8 |
generate binary packages) should be adequate. He's not immovable on such |
9 |
things -- but I'll need to have a very solid understanding of the |
10 |
benefits of using Catalyst before arguing any case to the contrary. |
11 |
(I've also contacted the author of gentoo-buildhoster to find out why he |
12 |
abandoned it, what he's using in its place, and whether he believes the |
13 |
project to be worth picking up; if he believes catalyst-2 to be more |
14 |
suitable for his use cases, understanding the reasoning behind that |
15 |
decision may provide some powerful arguments). |

Much of your other advice (ie. quickstart) is completely in line with |
18 |
our preexisting plans; thanks again for answering. (As for some of the |
19 |
items you're curious about -- such as our staff-to-server ratio -- I'm |
20 |
not entirely comfortable discussing all of that on an archived list; |
21 |
perhaps on IRC). |
