Adding redirects to handbooks as they are moved to wiki
Fix bug #453182 - Update profiles from 10.0 to 13.0
add initrd names, update kernel versions
Fix bug #396549 - Add section on advanced portage features
Update HPPA handbook for the weekly autobuilds. Note that HPPA users must still download and boot a 2008.0 liveCD, as there aren't any weekly CDs. I guess the hardware is old and won't really change. Once there's a more recent CD, we can change hb-install-hppa-medium.xml to use the correct conditional include for the autobuild CD directory. Fixes bug 260403, bug 292726, and bug 234310.
2008.0 is released
looks like HPPA did roll a beta2 after all, despite my sources saying they didn't need to
Consensus is to ditch the draft disclaimer
proper release name for hppa stage tarball. it was my fault; i inserted _beta1 in the wrong place the first time around.
Fixed stage3 name
release time. note that since this is beta1, the release dir and stage/media names have been adjusted accordingly. also, the handbooks are marked with a disclaimer=draft, so once the final is out, that will be removed and the release names adjusted. in the mean time, these are live. the beta is officially released. no, it's not april fools, but it is april 1st. :)
Made profile displayed by "ls -FGg /etc/make.profile" match default from stage3
2007.0 release is here; final changes and new docs
Matched hb-install-stage.xml with handbook architecture
reverting previous change
the great swift@g.o change, part 2
Moved chapter abstracts into shared chapters No content change, hence no bump
Grant should have been credited as an author, not as a reviewer Better late than never :)
proper English fix: s/stadium/state, no content change
2006.1 networked docs are in. portage handbook still untouched per separate bugs. thanks to all the hard work, guys. blame me if something is wrong (and please fix quickly) :)

#31877 - Add table with important groups users could/should be made member of
Add information about the 'userlocales' USE flag

Fix typo; also move my own name on top of the author listing since users tend to mail the top author for questions/feedback and daniel just forwards them on to me anyway -- plus that Im the main author anyway ~ Daniel, Chris and Jerry are the authors of the previous installation instructions from which the handbook emerged
Use Portage, capitalized P, wherever possible
#65107 - Added Portage-specific part to the Gentoo Handbook now that .51 is official; major version bump to 3.0

#60176 - Adding SLOT and depclean to the Gentoo Handbook
#61033 DISTCC_DIR is automatically handled by portage.
#60175 - Various fixes to the Portage information
Okay, turning back to the "old" profile system. The thread on -dev@ doesn't give me a good feeling about cascading profiles (pvdabeel sais that it needs some updates, beejay sais it needs testing, solar sais the old one is obsoleted and should be removed, zhen sais an updated catalyst needs to be pushed). So this doesn't feel like "yes, switch them all over" just yet (especially since this is a arch-wide part of our installation instructions).
#59583 - Add CFLAGS for PPC64
#50773 - Use links2 only (to not confuse users too much)
I've mailed gentoo-releng and asked if there were any architectures that don't
have links2 (well, not exactly in those words, but arches that don't have it
should have replyed anyway). Only beejay answered and said all LiveCDs have
links2 ("at least x86 has") and none of the other arches replied.
So I'm not going to ask it over and over again. I'll just commit and watch the
bugs flow in :p They've had their chance.
Use bootstrap-cascade.sh instead of bootstrap; the old one is broken (did you know this?)
Fix the "sysklogd already provides virtual/logger" issue when choosing another system logger
#59680 - Adding instructions on reading the documentation while installing
We don't have to env-update && source /etc/profile after editing /mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf's CHOST setting as we aren't inside our chrooted environment yet. The command itself is ran anyway right after chrooting, so this can be removed from the handbook. We had this previously when editing /etc/make.conf was inside the chrooted environment.
#59484: mirrorselect outputs html junk, grep on GENTOO_MIRRORS
Typo, label is #reboot, not #rebooting
#58200 - Add Gentoo/PPC64 Handbook #47705 - Use grub-install instead of grub's interactive shell Move bootloader instructions to the end of the installation instructions
Further #41658 fixes - the bug contained several bugreports
Fix conf.d/05gcc to env.d/05gcc
#50289 - Move mounting of /proc right before the chrooting. This also takes care of the errors users receive while unpacking the stage tarballs. Apparently logics is something the crowd wants less
Change name of "Software Availability" to "Working with Masked Packages"
#41658 - Inform the users about the various /etc/portage files
#57892 - Fix /etc/hosts for single-host environment
#50773 - Add a few phrazes to make it easier for the users to make a choice
#54222 - Use metalog as default example for loggers
#57330 - Make it more clear that using a portage snapshot from the CD is only required if you do a stage3 networkless installation
#56087 - make.conf.example is used for example values, not make.conf
#55656 - Update ccache instructions
#53272 - Reload environment variables after altering the CHOST variable
#58665 - 2004.2 stage3 contains the sysklogd logger
#57943 - USE="-java" isnt needed anymore
Small tune-up: if you use comments inside a code listing, use a # in front of them; some users tend to literally type over everything
Add <i>...</i> for the example md5sum command in hb-install-stage
Add gpg instructions for checking the validity of the ISOs
Desktop documentation is now separate
The md5sum checking command in the handbooks is an example for the x86 architecture while the other architectures use the same file (i.e. others see the same example). I made it prominent that this is merely an example.
Forgot to adjust version/date tags
Move over files from the draft/ directory. 2004.2 is released :)
#57290: ACCEPT_KEYWORDS on the command line is evil. Use /etc/portage/package.keywords instead
#57937: removed occurrences of xfs-sources, gaming-sources and [*] /dev/pts
#57264: updated output from env-update #57266: typo (s/socalled/so-called/)
#56317: Mention the dhcpcd -HD option and throw in a note about -N as well
#56065: make kernel options easier to find in 2.4 & 2.6 kernels
#56333:use md5sum.exe to check MD5 on a W machine
Remove digital signature verification as the key used to sign the ISOs has been revoked and the digitale signature files have been removed from the mirrors
Remove noauto for /boot and tell the users a bit more about this phenomenon :p
#53032 - Move out burning instructions to the Gentoo FAQ. Keep the cdrecord/k3b instructions though
#53086 - Add user to the tty group
#51978 - Inform users with multiple network cards that there are multiple network cards... yes, silly, I know, but it makes sense ;p
#51612 - Make emerge-webrsync command less ambiguous
#54090 Fixes from gmsoft: . Removed the hdparm part since hppa doesn't have ide hard drives. . The livecd doesn't detect anything on hppa. . Using tulip instead of 8139too as a module loading example.
Filter out rogue line from mirrorselect that b0rks /etc/make.conf See #52264
Version bump only. <Version> and <Date> should have been updated on 22nd May along with updates to hb-install-hppa-disk.xml
#43778 - SYNC can only contain a single mirror
#49376 - Add cryptographic instructions
#49552 - Add note that certain warnings during the extraction of the stages can be ignored
#49831 - Use relative links for kernel source; some ebuilds break otherwise
#50049 - Make the stage3-<subarch> name more prominent, some users think it is not an example but a reallife command
#49994 - /mnt/cdrom is automatically created by baselayout
#50324 - Add information regarding --deep flag and dependency checking using emerge world
#50520 - Make it more prominent that stage1 and stage2 cannot be used for networkless installations and that stage3 does
#50279: fixed single occurrence of 'vcron', should be vixie-cron
You can only use a stage3 when doing a networkless installation
#49692 - Apparently users take jokes far too seriously
Using md5sum -c instead of just md5sum
GNUs GCC documentation URL has changed
#47834 - Dont copy a symbolic link but the file it points to
Its arch/release, not release/arch
#35366 - Tell the user how to rebuild his system with new USE flags
Regarding portage update: can safely ignore it -> should ignore it
Only vixie-cron is available for networkless installations
msyslog isnt available for networkless installations, we should only list those. I added a sentence that others might be available as well so people dont submit bugreports against this :)
fix k3b fluency -- it was too confusing
Refrase on the defaults regarding the use of mirrorselect
Update hb-install-about to point to the releng page instead of just the x86 errata as this file is used by all architectures.
The use of "he/she" and "his/her" isn't recommended. It's ugly and better ways are known such as the use of "they" and "their" (even if it's not plural). Okay, English is a weird language, but I'm learning :) Thanks to Xavier for the information
Dont assume users are masculin
#46548 - Add K3B burning instructions to the burning instructions
Update on handbook abstracts
Handbook is at version 2
Handbook got killed. Added missing handbook-ARCH.xml files.
