this is being taken care of currently. |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
the plan is to offer a liveCD installer that can do Darwin x86 & Darwin |
| 4 |
PPC. That way you can gentoo with different kernels. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
i've a couple friends with ibooks that love gnu/linux but would perfer to |
| 7 |
be running apple written device drivers on an apple kernel - darwin is |
| 8 |
that. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
so a friend of mine is currently working on the bootstrapping process. as |
| 11 |
we go forward with this effort there will be ebuilds for the darwin kernel |
| 12 |
(offical and stable ebuilds will be based on whatever cvs versions that |
| 13 |
apple hand picks for OS X releases. So, expect to see kernel updates based |
| 14 |
on apple releases) we'll also offer cvs ebuilds [again, see the developer |
| 15 |
policies about ebuild and cvs stuff] and then we'll start working the |
| 16 |
entire 3 versions of X for OS X/Darwin. |
