I agree with all you have stated, in this entire thread. I have/am |
| 20 |
working on many pieces of this this thread and many more all ready exist |
| 21 |
as components, like stage-4 iso for gentoo. They are already in many |
| 22 |
mirrors. Yes they are very specific, but lack some install guidelines in |
| 23 |
the handbook; just exactly how to do a stage 4 install. Instructions do |
| 24 |
exist that are piecemeal or legacy, but not in the handbook, nor the |
| 25 |
wiki for stage-4 installs. One even struggle what docs to believe on how |
| 26 |
to construct a stage-4 file for install. If wisdom from gentoo-devs is |
| 27 |
these stage-4 issues are to be well hidden, at least there should |
| 28 |
likewise be accurate docs with those stage-4 iso, imho. |

I agree about secure VM and containers. I still struggle with that too; |
| 32 |
hence the posting here. Today is my response to what ails gentoo; github |
| 33 |
is such a minor, miniscule issue on that large question, imho. |
| 34 |

My thesis:: github is not the blocker for faster and wider uptake of |
| 37 |
gentoo. An easy install is the largest issue, followed by a way to |
| 38 |
robustly support/offer java, are about 95% of the blocker issues to |
| 39 |
gentoo update, imho. So I have suggested a variety of mechanism, for |
| 40 |
discussion on gentoo update (which would lead to more gentoo devs and |
| 41 |
contributions) even to the point of in a VM centric, or sister distro, |
| 42 |
as potentially plausible mechanisms to attract new users (and devs) to |
| 43 |
gentoo. |
