Only if you rely on the current developer community to do this. There's |
| 8 |
nothing to stop a user or group of users from taking a snapshot of the |
| 9 |
portage tree and applying only security updates (after testing of |
| 10 |
course) then using that as their own rsync source for a "static" |
| 11 |
Gentoo-based distro. If the target hardware is all compatible, you could |
| 12 |
also build packages so that all updates on production machines would be |
| 13 |
done with the --usepkg option, saving time and CPU cycles. |
