News
September 21, 2016: HTTPS for links
As part of our effort to continually improve the wiki, we'd like to encourage the use of HTTPS for external links wherever possible. This is especially important for an article's homepage InfoBox link since it is prominently placed at the top of articles (and more likely to be clicked). Please verify the link supports HTTPS before substituting. Happy improvements!
February 27, 2016: Embedded Handbook
As of today, all parts of the Gentoo Embedded Handbook have been migrated to the wiki. Feel free to add new embedded boards (such as Pine64 and the Raspberry Pi Zero) using the Embedded article blueprint.
January 31, 2016: USEflag template update
The {{USEflag}} template has been updated from using static tables to use the newly implemented packages.g.o API. This enables the USE flag sections of articles to dynamically load updates as the Portage tree evolves. Contributors can learn more of the details by reading the latest template migration article.
