Hi again people, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I got an ADSL line installed yesterday (just waiting for the modem to arrive, |
| 4 |
probably on friday), and I'm eager to install Gentoo. When I do (hopefully, this |
| 5 |
weekend), I'll start making a new system profile for [insert "Secure Gentoo" |
| 6 |
name here], so if you've got any implementation tips or clues, please tell me |
| 7 |
now. :) |
| 8 |

.plan: |
| 10 |
* Play around with Portage, get to know it properly |
| 11 |
* Select the packages that are to be installed in the base 'secure' system |
| 12 |
* Sort out the differences between the standard Gentoo packages and my packages |
| 13 |
* Make .ebuild files for the packages that are missing (libsafe, LIDS etc.) |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
And how do you think the whole thing should be implemented? Will it be with a |
| 16 |
USE variable? Would I then have to alter every one of the .ebuild files |
| 17 |
available to respect the USE variable? |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
I'm thinking I could solve the problem of which packages to include by having a |
| 20 |
'use secure (or whatever) && die "This package is not supported in the secure |
| 21 |
distro [blah blah]"' directive in the packages that won't be included (like |
| 22 |
XFree86, KDE, Gnome, etc.). |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Anyway, I'm just brainstorming here, and haven't really gotten to know Portage |
| 25 |
yet, so there might be some much better solutions to this problem. |

Best Regards, |
