Górny: Gentoo: profiles and keywords rather than releases
Wednesday August 21, 2024. 07:31 PM , from LWN.net
Gentoo developer Michał Górny has written a lengthy blog
post that explains how Gentoo approaches releases: Gentoo is something of a hybrid, as it combines the best of both worlds. It is a rolling release distribution with a single shared repository that is available to all users. However, within this repository we use a keywording system to provide a choice between stable and testing packages, to facilitate both production and development systems (with some extra flexibility), and versioned profiles to tackle major lock-step upgrades.
