Well, anything about catalyst is usually kept on the gentoo-catalyst mailing list. I don't bother sending to gentoo-dev every time we add new features or make changes simply because I would suspect most of the people on this list could care less. All of the people on the gentoo-catalyst list, on the other hand, are interested in catalyst development and usage. The original stage4 code was imported into catalyst CVS on 4 April 2005, though it was worked on for some time before then. The concept of the "stage4" tarball was created long before that and several other implementations and ideas have been thrown about on the forums even before it was introduced in catalyst. Stuart's Seeds project was the first official usage of the stage4 target in catalyst. Currently, it is used by the PPC64 team for the PS3 builds. I am unaware of anyone else actually using them in an official manner at this time. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering Strategic Lead Alpha/AMD64/x86 Architecture Teams Games Developer/Council Member/Foundation Trustee Gentoo Foundation
