14 I'm using Gentoo Prefix as a Meta Distribution, where I can not use the
15 Gentoo infrastructure, but have to provide the master services on my own.
16
17 While I've been able to set up rsync & distfiles master ~10 years ago,
18 where I haven't discovered any docs for so far, I feel lost when I think
19 of setting up additional master services for gemato without some docs.
20
21 Facing the removal of thick Manifest support (which I don't want to block
22 in any way), I've started to search for some docs how to set up these
23 additional master services to support gemato, but failed.
24
25 What I've found is the Infrastructure wiki project, providing a list of
26 servers maintained by infra, but nothing about how to set them up.
27
28 Did I miss something?

30 Thanks!
