4 It might be worth considering to distribute only the open source parts of OSX
5 with Gentoo OSX. Then ebuilds for proprietary components could simply require
6 an OSX install CD, assuming ebuilds have a way for getting distfiles from
7 CD-ROM... The user probably wouldn't be able to install the OSX GUI within
8 the chroot this way, but the manual doesn't include XFree in the chroot part,
9 either, so this shouldn't make much of a difference...
