4 Hiya Anthony,
5 First off, it certainly sounds interesting and making it more
6 accessible (simple ebuild setup and so on) seems like a good plan even
7 if it doesn't get picked up officially. The best way to start
8 development would probably be an overlay, which will make it easy to
9 bring into the tree if/when a developer wants to pick it up officially.
10 You might also want to look into integrating your "ramification"
11 process into catalyst the gentoo release building tool (the release
12 engineering team can probably tell you more about that than I can).
13 Also, reading the TinHat front page and mention of ram dumping, you
14 might be interested in [2]. It suggests not leaving the key in RAM when
15 it's not necessary, but shoving it into the CPU cache...
16 Mike 5:)
