Well as a basic tester (Stage 1): |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I think the make.conf that the stage has its very incomplete: |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
1.- I think the docs should have a section were the user can configure the CHOST variable, so he can change it for optimal performance of his hardware. |
| 6 |
2.- It should have at least a #SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage", so the user can change it to the closest rsync mirror. |
| 7 |
3.- This exactly the same as point three but with GENTOO_MIRRORS. |
| 8 |
4.- In the end, it should have a full make.conf cause after bootstraping, stage2 and stage3, its the same make.conf. |
| 9 |
So users will start setting USE vars but then when a portage update comes, the will have to merge a lot of make.conf code, that usually its not easy for a starting user. |
| 10 |
I think its easy to merge a file that has less differences than one having a lot of differences (Make it more userfriendly.), please dont reply me with the argument that a user starting with gentoo has to know these basics, cause we are always talking about trying to have things working easy for any kind of user. (Again. make it userfriendly.) |
