[gentoo-bsd] G/FreeBSD: 8.0, (almost) new stages and removal of old versions

[Alexis Ballier]

Hi all,

I am going to remove all the freebsd ebuilds that are not 7.2; the 6.2
profiles have been gone for a while and ebuilds are really not
maintained, 7.1 profiles have been deprecated for a while too (2
months). If anyone has objections, speak up now!

For those of you who have not updated yet, it is probably simpler to
start a fresh install from the 7.2 stages that I've pushed some months
ago (see experimental/x86/freebsd/7.2/stages/ in the mirrors). I have
not received rants against those stages so I'll assume they're fine :)
About sparc-fbsd, I have (thanks to Monkeh) access to a sparc-fbsd box
where I've put a 7.2 but the port is more surviving than anything else.
The box doesn't have enough disk space to build stages for example,
thus I am nowhere near to be able to push new stages.

As for 8.0, I'll start playing with it now; if any of you have started
to play with it and wanna share the experience, please poke me.

Regards,


Alexis.
