Im talking the entire source tree i know many people that would switch to gentoo if they would not have to compile every thing from source . not everyone has the fastest computer out there. I would be internested in helping work on a binary port of gentoo. I know there would be some issues with having a binary port 1. use settings ( maybe have 2 versions of apps one clean andone loaded ie kde and gnome support) 2. cflags (maybe support multible processors i586 i686 pentuim3 pentuim4 etc) I believe there will be others . i have alot of computers and Im willing to help out sence and I have lots of free time I know this is possible though I have built packages on one machine and installed them on other slower machines. Note > im not talking about a grp like install thats on a cd , but as a new edition to the portage ebuild system as a whole IE: setting in make.conf makes emerge get binarys . -- life is linux linux is life -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
