Project listing

In close collaboration with the Gentoo Release Engineering project, the Gentoo Binhost project aims to provide readily installable, precompiled packages for a subset of configurations, via central binary package hosting.

Currently we support amd64 and arm64 using the glibc and gcc toolchain. While binary packages are published for other architectures and toolchains, these are all limited to the package cache for Stage3 building used by Release Engineering.
