I was never a fan of overlays, so I've been doing as Ed W suggests |
| 10 |
ever since I never received a response to my previous questions on the |
| 11 |
subject. Back when GCC still had SSP, I didn't think delays with |
| 12 |
hardened-sources were a big deal. But I think it's telling of the |
| 13 |
current state of the Gentoo Hardened project that hardened-sources are |
| 14 |
(certainly) more vulnerable than gentoo-sources, and even |
| 15 |
vanilla-sources. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
In any case, it's clear to me now that Gentoo Hardened is more a pet |
| 18 |
project of a handful of (not very communicative) developers than it is |
| 19 |
a serious (meta)distribution. |
