New Funtoo 2008.0 Stages
As many of you know, I build up-to-date official Gentoo Linux stage tarballs twice a week for a variety of platforms. I've just converted my build system over to using the just-released Gentoo Linux 2008.0 system profile. This has been a fairly easy transition. Everything built from the 8th of July onwards should be using the new 2008.0 profile. Here's an outline of all the different builds I have available for download:
- x86
- i686
- athlon-xp
- pentium4
- core32
- amd64 (64-bit)
- core64 (64-bit)
- OpenVZ versions of all stages (x86, i686, athlon-xp, etc.)
Several of the new 2008.0-based stages are in the process of building but should be online within a day or so.

Thanks for doing this, Daniel. It's a great service to the community. I'm hoping we can get something similar going on Gentoo mirrors in the short term.
stage1 and stage2 are missing for the latest funtoo-core32-2008.07.09, and funtoo-core32-2008.07.05 misses all 3 stages.
OK - core32-2008.07.09 now has all the stages, and I removed the 07.05 directory (this build didn't complete due to either a server shutdown or a profile issue.)
Good job Daniel ;)
the 07.12 build doesn't contain stage3, but I guess I can use 07.09 just fine :P
The 07.12 core32 stage3 is on its way -- uploads can take some time, but it's built.

maybe stupid question ...
what is a different between core64 and amd64; i686 and core32 ??
Which one of these would be best to use with a pentium-M? I am assuming the pentium4 but wanted to be sure. Are you ever planning on releasing one for the pentium-M and if not any advice on optimization changes on one of these would be appreciated. I have been using linux for a few years now but have started to get into Gentoo as I find it is teaching me quite a bit more about how linux actually works. Thanks for helping the community like you are. We all appreciate it!
I'm sure that you've been asked before, but what are you using to build these stages ?
home-grown scripts?
catalyst + wrapper scripts ?
Something else enirely ?
Thanx
If we do an emerge -e world with the CFLAGS set up optimally for our machiens do we still need the stage tarball?
