Is gentoo-portage and gentoo-wiki offline?
 

Hi,

I cannot reach:

http://gentoo-portage.com/
http://gentoo-wiki.com

Are those websites off the air right now? Does anybody know when they
will be back?
Are there any substitutes to those web pages? I still miss
packages.gentoo.org as it used to be :-(

see also:
http://packages.larrythecow.org/

They're compiling 2.6.27-gentoo with -j11 on the same box that runs wiki;
which, btw, is a 386sx with 4MB of RAM. Please be patient, it will take a few
weeks.

Looks like they're both down for me too.

For future reference, this site is extraordinarily useful...

The domain was allowed to expire first. I see it's been given another
year. The current problem is neither of the nameservers listed for it
reply, they just time out.


Also to be clear, these are run by someone outside of gentoo.

Weeks? That's funny as heck right there. Git-r-done . . . . slowly.

Reminds me of the joke, how do you eat a elephant?

Let's see, how shall I put this? Oh stuff it, might as well be honest.

gentoo-wiki.com is notorious for being up and down more often than you change
your underwear. It's also been compromised at least twice in the last 12
months. The home page was last updated so long ago I'm no longer sure if it
was still in this millenium.

The content on it is even less reliable than the nonsense you will find
spouted off on Ubuntu forums (and that's saying something...)

For someone starting out with Gentoo I would be inclined to persuade you[1] to
avoid gentoo-wiki at all costs for a while. The real info, the true stuff, is
to be found on the official Gentoo site and right here on this list (of
course!)

Don't let this put you off - Gentoo is great, the wiki is just not so great.

Cheers
