Message-ID: <16CC9569DA3E4D41A1D4BC25D7B5A16A490FAF@hercules.magbank.com> (raw)
Interesting thread. I have used Gentoo in enterprise situations very
successfully, and I think the whole QA/live-tree argument is moot. In
an enterprise environment, you might have a backup/testing machine to
run your updates on first before they went live. You also wouldn't run
new packages unless they passed your own QA tests first.
Given the incredible flexibility of portage to support local mirrors,
binary package preparation, and localized versions of packages
(portdir_overlay), I would say that Gentoo is quite a contender in the
enterprise environment.
Perhaps we need some enterprise documentation to help people realize the
full potential of portage?
