Perhaps we can have another package in portage, at least: gentoo-livecd-spec
or some such - that has the version number of the release it corresponds to,
with the specfiles in there. Maybe we can simply create a new place in
/usr/portage for them. It would certainly make my job easier in getting Alpha
releases out the door if I could make it simple for other folks to run the
builds, even if I have to set them up...since a full build takes about 36
hours, start to finish, plus whatever time is involved in noticing that one
stage is done and it's time to start the next one.
