I was wondering what is keeping us from releasing a minimal install cd more
often than we do now.
Isn't almost everything needed for it already in the stable tree and thus
tested? And if so isn't
it possible to fully automate generation of these cd's

To follow up to this, I am planning on package.masking sys-libs/db 4.0 and 4.1
sometime in the near future, to be followed up by their removal in ~30 days.
If this poses a problem to you, a package you maintain, one of your family
members,
or some exotic animal you may or may not own, please let

Hello everybody :)
I'd like to argue about this problem, since my point of view slightly
differs about this "problem".
I think that releasing installation media more often would make sense,
more than in the case of stages. I wrote a small article a few weeks ago,
about the "Small Gentoo" Liv

I personnally would like to see stage tarballs updated more frequently
if an arch receives a major update in system, like gcc or glibc, even
if this is only an r patch because these are a pain to install, and by
update I mean something new goes stable. Such releases are infrequent,
but make it pai

Please give the usual warm welcome to Matt "aetius" Drew. Matt pings us
from Durham, North Carolina, USA. He says he lacks the skills that make
someone a software engineer as opposed to a programmer. Well I hope he
has never looked at Portage code.

Can't remember whether I already mailed about this, but better safe
than sorry. Currently /etc/env.d is added to CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK in
make.globals, and as far as i can tell nowhere in profiles. Anyone
object if I add it to base/make.defaults?
