GDP Status Report

Status Reports
Preliminaries
This is the status of the Gentoo Documentation Project. It will be posted
regularly, but not with a static frequency. All questions can be posted to
gentoo-doc@gentoo.org or to
me personally.
The Gentoo Documentation Project, from now on abbreviated to GDP, has its own
project page (just like almost all other Gentoo projects). You can find it at
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gdp.
Content
This status mail will briefly discuss the following tasks, objectives and/or
projects related to the GDP:
2.
Separating Architecture-Specific Instructions
A discussion on #gentoo-dev asks the GDP to develop a way for users to only view
the installation instructions for their architecture. A mail on gentoo-doc
explained the issue and another
mail discusses the requirements.
As this is a frequently asked feature, this request has been added to the GDP
TODO and is ready to be picked up by
a couple of developers (#42823).
3.
New / Updated Documentation
Sven Vermeulen has written up a guide on
using udev on Gentoo.
A new addition to our documentation repository is the SELinux UML Guide, contributed by
Nick Dimiduk.
The Gentoo x86 Quick
Installation Guide has been updated and relinked.
Furthermore many updates have been made against the Gentoo Handbook:
- Loading keymaps for international keyboards

- Kernel instructions (networkless installs don't have all sources)
- GRP instructions have changed once again
- Yaboot configuration for G5 has been updated
- Link to the release errata
