You mean as in compile a bunch of stuff on a Gentoo host, write the |
| 9 |
binaries to say /var/chroot/my-new-distro, chroot into it for testing, |
| 10 |
then write the whole lot to an install media? |

Sounds pretty much like how most binary distros are built. In which case |
| 13 |
you define ROOT=<whatever> and let rip. |

I would create a small -meta ebuild and put it in $PORTDIR/local/. It sets ROOT, |
| 16 |
and DEPENDS on everything you want in the binary distro. Then emerge it |
