niltsiar reacted to drobbins in Auto-updated ebuilds: Zoom-bin, google-chrome and others
Greetings during unusual times --
I wanted to let everyone know that the following ebuilds are currently being auto-updated using our new, amazing autogen framework. That means we will always have current versions:
www-client/firefox-bin www-client/google-chrome www-client/google-chrome-beta www-client/google-chrome-unstable www-client/brave-bin app-admin/pass app-admin/passwordsafe net-misc/anydesk-bin mail-client/thunderbird-bin net-im/discord-bin net-im/zoom-bin net-im/slack-bin More are on the way! For those working remotely, I recommend checking out zoom-bin (Zoom meetings) as well as anydesk-bin (AnyDesk) for fast remote desktop. They work great under Funtoo.
Enjoy, and stay safe.

niltsiar reacted to drobbins in 1.4 is (almost!) ready to go!
Hey everyone,
1.4 is almost ready to be released. Thanks so much to everyone who has contributed pull requests for 1.4 and tested 1.4. There's still a bunch of work to do, but there always will be and I believe 1.4 will be our most well-tested release so far.
After 1.4 is released, we will start development on 2.0, to be released some time in the Fall (Sept/Oct timeframe). I've been thinking about the release schedule a lot and I think that aiming for a .0 release every Fall seems to be a good idea. This means the work is completed well before the winter holidays, and fall in the US is a good season of change and looking forward to new things.
What I have left to do for 1.4 is to update the ARM builds to 1.4 and then also to update our documentation, release notes, upgrade steps and related docs. I want to incorporate the new video cards mix-ins into the official installation steps and not leave it to just be a "First Steps" item after install. This way, people can use the install docs to get their desktop environment of choice up and running, too.
I hope to get all this completed in the next few days.

niltsiar got a reaction from McQ in eix and kits
In order to get the eix-sync functionality i've created the following alias
alias eixsync="ego sync && eix-sync -u" When we pass -u to eix-sync it does all its work without the "emerge --sync" part so it syncs through ego and then it updates eix databases and run eix-diff
Hope this can help someone :)

Build microcode cpio with iucode_tool and load as initrd, If there is a problem disable in the grub menu prior to boot.
