Gentoo Raspberry Pi 2 image?

Hello,

There are many threads how to (cross-) compile Gentoo on RPi2.

But since the HW is always the same, it should be possible to have a "standard" minimal SDcard image?
(something like Arch linux or Raspberrian).

Is somebody maintaining something like that?

Have a look at the section 'Stage 4' here:

(seems to be unmaintained though...)

I was also looking at this, and wish there were a newer update on the guide, or an image for Rasberry Pi's. Or a noobs filesystem you could add to os/Gentoo/

EDIT: I've read some threads in here, and I'm still surprised there's not a standard generic, maybe unofficial image for a Rasberry these days. I tried Rasberian but it seems to struggle with just running twitch.tv and youtubes as far as I noticed. It's maybe better in Kodi, but still, it's taking its pauses for just getting outta menus. So I really need help here. I could try compiling my own within VMs, but it's kind of a huge step for someone not having VM even installed at this point. All I want with this Raspberry is to stream twitch.tv, and have possibilities for ssh/rdp and maybe have it run with "synergy"(mouse across all my PCs).

There is gentoobs https://rpi.pa.trickhieber.de/

I set it up on my pi2 and I'm about to give it a whirl on the pi3.

It appears all the links above are broken. If I ever get a wish from a Genie I'm going to use it to remove all obsolete how-to's and all broken links from the entire internet. :-)

I did find this though: https://sourceforge.net/projects/gentoo4raspi/
It's a RPi3 image, so that's something. Now if I could just find a functional how to or image for a RPi B+.
I figure if I muddle my way through enough broken how-to guides eventually I'll learn enough about the process of installing Gentoo on a RPi so that I can klugde enough stuff together to get it to work. :-)

So far I'm using:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi/Quick_Install_Guide

But both are out of date that they don't seem to work as is...

Edit: There is also this: https://sourceforge.net/projects/pastoo/?source=directory
My Italian is terrible though.... YOU LIED TO ME Paul Nobel!!!!! You said it would be easy!! ;-)

[Seriously though Paul is great...]

Aries97,

There is a Pi B (original) BINHOST but no /boot filesystem.
As the /boot filesystem is in git, that's no hardship.

My Pi 1 is rebuilding everything with gcc-7.1 as I write. When its done, in a few days, I'll update the binhost.

I've moved from Pi 1 to Pi 3 64 bit without getting started on Pi 2.
