For some reason it didn't go the first time so here it is again: Hi all,
This is a bit of an announcement. It won't be a mystery to people who hang on irc or watch bug#201321. Christopher Schawn (gnuke) started an overlay to develop a split version of sage for Gentoo and I joined forces with him as the person having done the latest attempt. So the overlay lives on github and can be inspected here: http://github.com/cschwan/sage-on-gentoo and you can pull it with: git clone git://github.com/cschwan/sage-on-gentoo.git A package.keyword list is also provided in the overlay. We will probably create a set as well in the near future. We plan to make the overlay self sufficient. That is someone should only need this overlay and the standard tree to build portage. I will sync stuff back to science when it is ready but for now we don't want overlay dependency hell. Once we reach a rather stable stage we may look at making the science overlay a dependency for this overlay (provided it can be done - I remember hearing stuff but I don't know if it has been implemented). Testers and advice welcome. We currently a partially split sage that seems to more or less on x86 and amd64. But more work is needed on amd64 in particular. Cheers, Francois (aka kiwi_fb)
