31 Hi Andreas,
32
33 I'm pretty interested to help for this topic. Notably, for my work on creating and maintaining Gentoo template for Qubes OS, I'm weekly constructing binpkgs mirrors in order to ease rebuilding from scratch Gentoo templates and also for CI purposes. So I would be glad to help the whole Gentoo community in such efforts.
34
35 I'm also following a very interesting work here on portage: https://github.com/gentoo/portage/pull/562

37 Best regards,
38 Frédéric
