1.
Project Description

expand the capabilities and potential of Gentoo in general.

Project tasks
The tasks of the
gentoo-alt
project are:
Tech documentation -
A complete documentation for developers
To avoid that the missing of one of the devs makes difficult
maintaining the project, all the technical documentation about
Gentoo/Alt projects must be written and published, so that they
are available to whoever wants to help.
| Starting date: |
2005-09-14 |
Alternate Prefix -
Support for alternate prefixes for portage (finished)
To get Gentoo/Alt projects working on platforms where you are not
able to change what is installed in base system (closed-source
systems, for instance), a solution is to add support for alternate
prefix installation in portage.
