Project:Alt

Alt is a top-level project that manages efforts to support alternate Gentoo platforms and runtime environments. In many ways, Alt represents the "cutting edge" work that is being done to expand the capabilities and potential of Gentoo in general.

Tasks
The tasks of the Alt project include:


 * 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.


 * 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.

Resources
Resources offered include:


 * Alt Contributor's Guide
 * Alt Mailing list
