It has been in since around May. I think when sourceforge changed all |
| 6 |
their URL's for http downloads, drobbins threw it in to address that. |

There is a file /usr/portage/thirdpartymirrors where you can set up |
| 8 |
other mirrors. |

Daniel does most of the portage hacking, and he does quite a lot. He |
| 19 |
has been making some major tweaks with the code lately (if you hadn't |
| 20 |
noticed), and he does keep track of the major changes in the portage |
| 21 |
Changelog. Well, it looks like you have to look in the gentoo-src tree |
| 22 |
to see the "real" portage Changelog. If you don't want to check it out |
| 23 |
of CVS, you can look at it here: |

As to gentoo-core, we are working on defining exactly what should and |
| 28 |
should not go on there. It is mainly developer introductions and |
| 29 |
pre-discussions about various issues that will either be shot down or |
| 30 |
opened up to gentoo-dev once they have matured a little. |
