I think it is actually a compliment to the flexibility of Gentoo that
these derivatives are so different.  Gentoo is a somewhat-generic
linux distro overall - in its default install it isn't too different
from Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora/Arch on the surface and in terms of typical
package selection.  However, ChromeOS and CoreOS are very
non-traditional linux distros.

When people ask me what Gentoo is good for I of course talk about
enthusiasts who care about both understanding their systems and having
a high degree of control, but I also talk about projects where you're
trying to blaze new trails and departing significantly from the
typical linux desktop or LAMP box.  If all you want is a stable LAMP
box then honestly you're probably better off with the likes of
Debian/CentOS/etc.  However, if you're doing something embedded, or
trying to change the world, then starting with Gentoo gives you a lot
more flexibility to blaze new ground while not having to build
EVERYTHING from scratch.

So, when people use Gentoo to do things that we personally don't find
useful, I think it is just a testimony to the fact that we've actually
accomplished one of our core missions: empowering our users to make
their own choices.



+1

more power to you Rich.

CoreOS a gentoo derived distro, had made a very elegant use of 
'systemd'.


systemd consists of 'unit' and 'target'.

'unit' is config file containing 'docker run' command.

'target' is the grouping mechanism (equiv to fig.yml and 
upcoming 'docker group' command)


systemtd is exclusively used to manage the lifecycle of 'docker' 
containers !

Anyone know anything about coreos?

Lookie lookie, they have ebuilds?



According to wikipedia, CoreOS is a fork of ChromeOS [1].

ChromeOS is most definitely a Gentoo derivative [2,3,4], even though that fact
is not really well known (and not really publicised).



i suppose, CoreOS uses the 'update mechanism' from ChromeOS to 
provide autoupdate service (a/b).


for all practical purposes, CoreOS is a Gentoo derivative.

Did you try simply renaming the ebuild?
That normally works.



Thanks for your reply.

Here are things i explored:

1. simply renaming did not work
(it should not since the md5 hashes would not match)

2. making a separate copy with ebuild did not work out as 'emerge' 
kept complaining about the missing digest.


3. next i attempted creating a separate file in
   /usr/portage/metadata/md5-cache/dev-java for 
oracle-jdk-bin-1.8.0.20 file


with 'repoman manifest' it did not work

however emerge started complaining about missing jdk's for i586, 
solaris etc.


Meanwhile i took a close look at the /usr/portage/eclass directory
and also tried to locate where 'inherit' is defined.

'inherit' is a function defined in /usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh 
file with its bucket full of 'bash'isms.


Oh well !

As a simple solution i did the following:

. create directory /home/saifi/jdk180u20
. extract the jdk and place the jce file
. create a script file to setup the
  PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and CLASSPATH

This works absolutely fine since i can work with multiple versions 
of JDK including JDK9 (dev) without worrying about 'pythonic 
scriptilicious' emerge, ebuild, equery, eix, euse, epkg, eclean ..!


Thanks to everybody who helped me out.

What kind of database is it?
If it's something the likes of postgresql or mysql, you could dump the 
database to a text file, use recode or iconv to change the file 
encoding, and then import it into a new unicode database.


Yes, that's just what I want to do. Database is MySQL. Can you PLS

That sounds kind of like this bug: 
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78636


Does it give you an oportunity to have a shell?  If so then you might be 
able to run udevstart to make the devices appear.


I have message:
