Hi, |
| 2 |
We do use binary packages, but some things like kernel modules are |
| 3 |
better created on the fly - for example when we roll out a new kernel |
| 4 |
and the client reboots on the new kernel it will build the appropriate |
| 5 |
display modules. This can be done using binary packages, but creates |
| 6 |
more work as new binary packages have to be created every time the |
| 7 |
kernel is upgraded. |

We have documented the initial setup of our installer, but havent had |
| 10 |
time to document the maintenance side of it. It will be posted up when |
| 11 |
we finish the docs. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
The docs that exist so far are here: |
| 14 |
<http://dev.gentoo.org/~baz/binpkgmain/> |
| 15 |
This goes as far as explaining the installation process only. |

Cheers |

It looks like we will have to at this point! Cheers. |
