If you are really interested in using GIT with gentoo, then read up |
9 |
on overlays and layman |
10 |
|
11 |
"layman -L" shows experimental and code_hacks in progress. |
12 |
|
13 |
GIT among other code management systems are used. Git is the most |
14 |
common. |
15 |
|
16 |
|
17 |
NEVER, use an overlay to replace a gentoo stable package, only to |
18 |
install something additional or non-critical! (you've been warned!). |

Are you kidding? Really? Who the hell is going to even touch, yet |
26 |
alone maintain some of the advanced mathematics libraries we all |
27 |
enjoy on Gentoo? Many are difficult as hell to get stable on gentoo |
28 |
and use in other (science) projects; just as one example. We stand tall, |
29 |
here at gentoo, because we have the collective wisdom to use the |
30 |
work provided by the larger community of hackers, coders, students |
31 |
and yes burnt_out_too_often_abused_admins who often appear to have bad |
32 |
attitudes...... (hi Alan!) |

Here's but one example, you should take on to manage, upgrade and |
35 |
enhance in your spare time? |

Here is another one (you do like video on your workstation?: |

Sorry for being blunt, but you just do not realize just how rediculous |
44 |
this line of reasoning/questioning is? |
