I think gentoo-alt has more expertise to solve the problems. |

Yes, that's a good-to-have. |

I am interpreting "installing them" as installing the gentoo portage |
18 |
tree. |

I would go this way when in short of storage. |

It is a pain in the ass to use a phone without root. I will avoid it |
31 |
when I buy a phone. |

At the same time I understand that your effort will help those who stuck |

Our IRC channel #gentoo-prefix freenode had a lot of discussions on |

44 |
for it built in, but outdated and need some extra love. |
