Just wanted to establish myself on the forums again, this will not be my primary method of communication.

Since conrad-projects became affiliated with no-sources because cheater sat in as a maintainer, development and the community will still be intertwined. We've been down for awhile since cheater was central to keeping things going and I have been busy with school and work.

That's changing, I'm stepping in as a current maintainer once again for no-sources, and will be working on its next release. I also want to continue to maintain neoportage and bring it up to date. For those of you who don't know what neoportage is, it is a svn/cvs ebuild overlay for portage. It was forked from fluidportage and needs user input to stay current.

I'm considering patches right now for no-sources, what it WILL have is a ck-base, I'm debating whether to include nosched to allow compile-time selection of cpu schedualer, as I feel Con Kolivas has a very competent schedualer for normal use. This release will not be designed for audio work, and hence will not include ingosched and related realtime features. What it's going to aim for is stability and performance that -ck allows, plus driver support and a few minor functionality patches.

I may pull some patches in from -mm, but this release is going to just try to be usable, hence might take some time for QA.

I would love to see a amd64 version of conrad installation. I'm currently doing that and I've faced few problems with the flags and packages. I posted the problems and solutions on the conrad installation guide thread so anyone interrested will know that has been done.
