Well, anything about catalyst is usually kept on the gentoo-catalyst |
| 12 |
mailing list. I don't bother sending to gentoo-dev every time we add |
| 13 |
new features or make changes simply because I would suspect most of the |
| 14 |
people on this list could care less. All of the people on the |
| 15 |
gentoo-catalyst list, on the other hand, are interested in catalyst |
| 16 |
development and usage. The original stage4 code was imported into |
| 17 |
catalyst CVS on 4 April 2005, though it was worked on for some time |
| 18 |
before then. The concept of the "stage4" tarball was created long |
| 19 |
before that and several other implementations and ideas have been thrown |
| 20 |
about on the forums even before it was introduced in catalyst. Stuart's |
| 21 |
Seeds project was the first official usage of the stage4 target in |
| 22 |
catalyst. Currently, it is used by the PPC64 team for the PS3 builds. |
| 23 |
I am unaware of anyone else actually using them in an official manner at |
| 24 |
this time. |
