Gentoo

Use a Gentoo cloud image as the baseline for built disk images. The images are located in profile specific sub directories:

http://distfiles.gentoo.org/releases/amd64/autobuilds/

As of this writing, only x86_64 images are available.

Notes:

There are very frequently new automated builds that include changes that happen during the product maintenance. The download directories contain an unversioned name and a versioned name. The unversioned name will always point to the latest image, but will frequently change its content. The versioned one will never change content, but will frequently be deleted and replaced by a newer build with a higher version-release number.
In order to run the package-installs element you will need to make sure dev-python/pyyaml is installed on the host.
Other profiles can be used by exporting GENTOO_PROFILE with a valid profile. A list of valid profiles follows:

default/linux/amd64/13.0 default/linux/amd64/13.0/no-multilib hardened/linux/amd64 hardened/linux/amd64/no-multilib
