Its not so much that I'm missing that, and more that I am attempting to |
| 25 |
introduce a different concept of what might quantify a Gentoo 'Release'. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
If the 'Release' was based on a snapshot of the Portage Tree (with |
| 28 |
security fixes backported of course, most likely major bug fixes as |
| 29 |
well), then there would be something uniform and standard to release |
| 30 |
against. |
