Imagine users to cross-compile kernels for other userlands/hardwares/whatever, like compile a gentoo-sources on a fast x86 for a ARM RaspberryPi with a Debian userland. Two thoughts, out package manager does not handle reboots (and I like it), and kernel builds as well as installs/bootloader are a bit out of this scope. - -- Michael Weber Gentoo Developer web: https://xmw.de/ mailto: Michael Weber <x...@gentoo.org> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.20 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iF4EAREIAAYFAlHSkVgACgkQknrdDGLu8JDn5AD/bgSoPzVvyajlh8K2vDGWiwhR Nbjxr8rwPvTl/RW6LE8A/j7QUy1QbSkqOXSmkuXbUNbplSRhVamwDQ+XFMK1jgMI =HjGE -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
