Issue

  • Portage-stable repo contains plain copies of Gentoo upstream recipes
  • Some packages still significantly outdated
  • Some of the build tooling (eclasses, python, etc) still significantly outdated

Impact

  • No direct benefit from Gentoo upstream work
  • Manual maintenance / copy+paste work necessary to upgrade packages

Ideal future state

  • portage-stable is a zero-touch fork of gentoo upstream and we update by forward-winding portage-stable to new gentoo upstream commit IDs
  • GH Actions are in place to upgrade packages as soon as upgrade is available in upstream Gentoo (similarly to existing kernel, rust, systemd automation)
