Sabayon Linux development in 2015
Sabayon developer Joost Ruis takes
a look at recent developments in the Sabayon Linux project, including
new Docker images. "
These are forked directly from a Gentoo stage3 docker image. The result is a very clean chroot that is even closer to Gentoo. Our docker pulls in the stage3, adds Sabayon overlay, installs Entropy to a point where it can run. Then it checks the Portage database to list what packages are installed and replaces them with the packages from Entropy. (Ain’t that cool?). Now we can keep our minimal chroot current and easy make changes whenever we want. The docker base image is then being “squashed” so we can feed it as an image to our Molecule™ script that will build our iso images for us. With this move we also made the creation of spins more accessible to developers! Go fork us!"
