I'm happy to announce the release of Funtoo Boxer, the official tool for creating Funtoo Linux containers and VM images.
The official "home" of Funtoo Boxer is on GitHub, with documentation viewable there:
https://github.com/funtoo/boxer
The purpose of Boxer is to have an officially-maintained tool for creating container and VM images for Funtoo, so that our users don't need to search the internet for scripts to build containers and VM images, and so we can easily maintain and document these processes so they always work optimally.
In the 1.0.3 release, we currently support the creation of Docker and Singularity container images, with more container and VM formats to be added in future releases.
To install boxer, you can "emerge boxer" on Funtoo systems. On non-Funtoo systems, a "pip install funtoo-boxer" should install it. Additionally, it is possible to run Funtoo Boxer directly from a cloned git repository -- please see the README.rst for more details on this.
Enjoy Boxer -- and we welcome GitHub pull requests for this new and exciting tool!
Best,
Daniel Robbins

The latest version of the official Funtoo LiveCD supports Apple computers using intel processor, just boot using a USB device. I've only tested it with balenaEtcher, but it should work with other tools to create bootable USB, like Ventoy.
I recommend testing, here on the macbook air everything worked, including wi-fi.
Enjoy!

Hello everybody! We know that the Gentoo project has recently removed the zoneminder ebuild due to lack of maintainers, and also some overlays have given up on maintaining it. We at Funtoo decided to keep the zoneminder active and up to date, and we released a new release on yesterday's date, and it works on 1.4 and Next release.
ZoneMinder is open source software used to capture, analyse, record, and monitor cameras.

Hey Everyone,

Hi folks O/
 
few years ago I wonder about a friendly version of Gentoo and Funtoo, the gentoo community don't liked, but I keep did some tests but I didn't continue, well, few week ago I start again, but this time only a Funtoo Friendly version, and now I have something really beginning.
the project will resume in few flavors and one version with a overlay with update packages and few extra.
the funtoo flavors are X+openbox, gnome and Plasma, they are just the Funtoo Stage3 Generic with few packages and some configuration.
and has one version with plasma, but with an overlay with few update packages and other stuffs, a stage more out of the box, I want make something to people learn about gentoo/funtoo or for who use the system without spent hours to build the system. 

the webiste will be done in the next weeks, and the stages will be available in the next days "sorry, I'm with one pc now, and the net is a turtle".

website -> https://bentoo.info/
binhost -> http://binhost.bentoo.info

github repos : 
overlay -> https://github.com/lucascouts/bentoo

configurations -> https://github.com/lucascouts/bentoo-cfg

I don't know if the funtoo community will like but anyway I'll forward with this project, but will be great if few users could help with feedback or criticisms.

thank you anyway ?

Hi Everyone,
I'm very happy to announce that we are now offering official Funtoo AWS images in the AWS Marketplace:
https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B07KT3VN7Q/
Please test them out. They are optimized for specific instance types to offer the best performance possible in AWS. Please leave us a positive review (or file a bug ? ) and take advantage of these free images to Funtoo-ize AWS and advance the benefits of building software from source, optimized for the underlying CPU architecture -- Funtoo style!
Best,
Daniel

The 1.0 release of Funtoo Linux is not going to be maintained after September 30, 2018. So please be sure to upgrade your systems to Funtoo Linux 1.2 using https://www.funtoo.org/Upgrade_Instructions so that you will continue to get updates!
We will also be starting development on Funtoo Linux 1.3 in a few days, on August 31. We are moving to a new agile (scrum) process, where we will be doing 1-week sprints (time-constrained sets of work). Our work will include some portion of fixes for 1.2 and some new work on 1.3. When we as a team decide that 1.3 is ready for various milestones (alpha, beta, release candidate) we will mark it as such. Thus, we have no hard deadline for 1.3 as I do not want to try to hit arbitrary dates that are not based on the actual work. But we will get there, sooner rather than later!

Hello Everyone --
I want to highlight some improvements that have been made to the wiki besides our new FAQ (https://www.funtoo.org/FAQ)
We now have a new Subarches page that is a lot easier to navigate: https://www.funtoo.org/Subarches
And the look of various things like notes, tips, warnings, etc. have been improved for a cleaner, more consistent look. This is a good sample page to browse the new look. Note that you may need to "hard reload" the page to get the new CSS: https://www.funtoo.org/Upgrade_Instructions
Enjoy!

Hi All,
As we move to our third-generation infrastructure, I am currently migrating containers to BTRFS+SSD (from ZFS and HDD+Optane) which may result in up to an hour of downtime, especially if you have a lot of data stored in your containers. But the result will be much, much, much faster IO. So if you have seen your uptime on your container change recently, this is why.
Best,
Daniel

Hey Everyone,
Thanks to some good work by @temptorsent, we now have gcc-7.3.1 in core-kit 1.2. This version of GCC has spectre V2 fixes, so if you compile the latest debian-sources-lts or latest debian-sources kernel after gcc-7.3.1 is installed, and reboot, you should be protected against spectre V2. Please use this tool to test your vulnerability, both before and after your kernel upgrade, to make sure everything went as planned:
https://github.com/speed47/spectre-meltdown-checker
See https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?px=GCC-7.3-Released&page=news_item for info on gcc-7.3.

Daniel
