Description Simon Vermeersch 2004-12-23 11:11:26 UTC

I've noticed that the guide from linux from scratch is in portage. So I think the gentoo installation manual (and probably other gentoo docs) should also be in portage

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

The main issue is that the Gentoo Handbook evolves quite fast; having a script that downloads the latest version is far more efficient than an ebuild imho. As an example, since last week, we had 17 changes.
