Come up against a few problems, so making some radical changes

Distros ...

As it turns out, Gentoo (binary packages in particular) doesn't do exactly what I want. The main problem is a space efficient way of providing binary updates. Gentoo isn't space efficient to the extent required and binary packages don't (seem) to work "properly" (for me).

So I'm experimenting with my own Gentoo-like source based (with binary option) distribution based on the Gentoo Portage tree but using a cut down ebuild model reworked as "C" and bash. (no python required, and no 75Mb portage tree)

Thus far I have a working(ish) concept and toolchain implemented using the new tools.

Still testing, but I should be able to produce a bootable environment within a few more days ..

Benefits include the ability to write a new (average) ebuild in around 30 seconds .. :)
