The bootstrap-20010804.packages file is brand-new and was almost certainly created |
| 12 |
by Alkaline (Pete Gavin), who is building a new build image as we speak. That means |
| 13 |
that you may certainly find problems with the packages listed therein, at least until |
| 14 |
Pete finishes his work and gets all the ebuilds working perfectly. In the mean time, |
| 15 |
you may want to try to use the next-most-recent bootstrap file for setting up your |
| 16 |
Gentoo Linux system. |
