Hi Pete, |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
I took a short look at your HOWTO and think it sounds good. |

sys-build is no longer used instead the packages listed in |
| 19 |
current-packages.build are used together with the USE flags |
| 20 |
"build" and "build-static". |

I don't think it is neccesary to add -gentoo to our patches. |
| 23 |
Sometimes it is better to store patches without the ${PV} because |
| 24 |
the same patch can be used for different versions. |
| 25 |
Sometimes it is better to store patches in files/${PV} to keep the list |
| 26 |
in files small. |

How about creating a new package in app-doc and place the Gentoo-HOWTO |
| 30 |
in there. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
I want to make a doc for the USE variables and this can be placed there |
| 33 |
too. |

What do you think about using docbook for these docs. The sgml-tools |
| 38 |
should work quite well and we can produce the following output formates: |
| 39 |
dvi html man pdf ps rtf tex texi txt. |
| 40 |
We can add our own html-backend or an xml backend that can be used |
| 41 |
for xslt transformation. |
