Project:Alt

Gentoo/Alt is a top-level project that manages efforts to support alternate Gentoo platforms and runtime environments. In many ways, gentoo-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 gentoo-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 by the gentoo-alt project include:


 * Alt Contributor's Guide
 * Alt Mailing list

Here you can find all the logs of Gentoo/Alt meetings, ordered by date. The meetings are being held on request from project members and occours on (moderated if it's the case).
