========
Gentoo
========
Use a Gentoo cloud image as the baseline for built disk images. The images are
located in profile specific sub directories:
http://distfiles.gentoo.org/releases/amd64/autobuilds/
As of this writing, only x86_64 images are available.
Notes:
* There are very frequently new automated builds that include changes that
happen during the product maintenance. The download directories contain an
unversioned name and a versioned name. The unversioned name will always
point to the latest image, but will frequently change its content. The versioned
one will never change content, but will frequently be deleted and replaced
by a newer build with a higher version-release number.
* Other profiles can be used by exporting GENTOO_PROFILE with a valid profile.
A list of valid profiles follows:
default/linux/amd64/13.0
default/linux/amd64/13.0/no-multilib
hardened/linux/amd64
hardened/linux/amd64/no-multilib
