Gentoo doesn't really have releases, except for the installation discs,
so this would be meaningless. Except when a profile is deprecated, and
1.4 was the last to do that, your system is whatever was in portage the
last time you synced and updated.
From the website:
The Gentoo Foundation is both pleased and proud to announce the much
anticipated release of *Gentoo Linux 2005.1* (Codename: 'El Nino').
The iso images for the release can be found by visiting the Get
Gentoo! <http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/where.xml> page.
Fooled me with the word 'release' in that sentence. Its even got a
codename. You know something is a proper release if its got a
codename... :) It is referring to installation iso I guess. Still,
even though it is not a true release in, eh, truer meaning of the word
'release', whatever it is in Linux distro world, it would still be
nice to have Release Notes with some info on whats new/changed.
Eugene.
If the developers bothered to write stuff like that for every package
(most of them have changelogs BTW) Gentoo would be like Debian.. years
between releases
