It's easy enough, all the info you need is in man 5 ebuild. The only problem areas that really get you stuck in me experience are trying to cope with binary-only proprietary packages that do silly things like use Java installers > Gentoo literally can't die without something better to replace it. Why do you keep making this odd assertion that gentoo will/may/might/looks like/appears to be dying? Nothing could be further from the truth. You don't need to replace gentoo with anything because even if the entire project and ever single dev died in one huge humongous bus accident, all the gentoo code and repos are still there. So, in such an event, simply host everything somewhere else on the internet alan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
