Description Dainius Masiliƫnas 2016-03-20 22:19:55 UTC
Recently, the autobuilds have got stage4 tarballs for cloud systems. Thus the handbook should now explicitly tell users to download a stage3 tarball, not a stage4 one.
Comment 1 nm (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2016-03-21 09:32:13 UTC
the examples already tell users to download a stage3 tarball several times. nowhere is stage4 mentioned in this document.
