[gentoo-dev] New project: binhost

[Torokhov Sergey]

 Maybe the expirience of Calculate Linux will be usefull. It's Gentoo based distributive that use portage/emerge and have huge set of prebuild packages in *.xpack format.    https://wiki.calculate-linux.org/calculate_vs_gentoo    10.02.2021, 20:58, "Andreas K. H��ttel" <dilfridge@g.o>: Hi all, I'm announcing a new project here - "binhost""The Gentoo Binhost project aims to provide readily installable, precompiled packages for a subset of configurations, via central binary package hosting. Currently we are still in the conceptual planning stage. "https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:BinhostIf you're interested in helping out, feel free to add yourself on the wiki page.Note that I see actually *building* the packages not as the central point of the project (that could be e.g. a side effect of a tinderbox). I'm more concerned about* what configurations should we use* what portage features are still needed or need improvements (e.g. binpkg signing and verification)* how should hosting look like* and how we can test this on a limited scale before it goes "into production"* ...Comments, ideas, flamebaits? :DCheers, Andreas-- Andreas K.
