Hello,
I want to help in sanitizing the overlay and bring the ebuilds into
portage. We can see that next weekend if you have the time.

The iphone use flag covers some features present on the iPhone and not
necessarily present on all iPods (with iOS). So yeah, the ios use flag

First, I've been using git to hack Linux for some embedded devices. My
development was in sync with upstream linux-omap to which I sent several
patches. So, consider yourself that I have some experience with git.

I know we are all busy with a lot of things and I know what Gentoo don't
really need right now is more cruft in the ebuilds (just think on QA!).

Most people trying Gentoo already had some history with other Linux
distros. So, I'm sure they will recognize the cups USE flag when they
see it. Most everyone I know also have a printer (some with a pile of
dust on it) so I think most of people wil

The most confusing stuff for me was to learn all the GNU/Linux basics

After all we don't want to introduce something like dev-gpe mail-gpe
x11-gpe net-embedded ... which, IMHO, would be messy.
So, despite "looking" a *lot* of new categories with not so much stuff
inside, will this slow down portage sync/metadata-regen/loopkup in some
way?
Thank you,

Since we are maintaining this over half a year now, we think that its
time to finally starting moving step-by-step the GPE suite into the
portage tree - starting with the eclass and toplevel categories.
