No, this is a different distribution. We are creating a binary Linux distribution from ebuilds with a focus on POSIX compliance, ease of use, porting to alternative platforms (x86_32, ppc, arm64), and speed. This project rose out of simple desire to have a way to use Gentoo binpkgs with the apk package manager (from Alpine Linux, not the Android app distribution format). I was bouncing the idea around in the -portage IRC channel around December 2014 and a few users and devs (including ryao) encouraged me to continue seeing if it would be feasible. As I found success, some people asked me if I was considering distributing the APKs I was making, and it turned into a distribution fairly organically. The domain was registered mid-2015. I named it Adélie because the Adélie penguin is the closest living relative to the Gentoo penguin (along with the Chinstrap; Chinstrap Linux is a consultancy firm), and I personally feel that Adélie is the closest binary relative to Gentoo's technical goals. If you have any further questions, go ahead and ask (on or off list). Regards, - --arw - -- A.
