I'm used to openembedded style builds which you could say are 'almost' like the gentoo approach to source level builds. I must confess to never having used Gentoo (sorry about that ;-) ) though I like the concept. And now for the question. For a given build (eg cross compile -> ARM flash based system) is the Gentoo-embedded methodology to build a flashable image which i'm expected to flash OR is there a mechanism for creating something like an ipkg that I can install on my existing target - having both options gives me a lot of flexibility. So what's the approach for embedded gentoo? -goc- -- gentoo-embedded@gentoo.org mailing list
