Fix Gentoo builds on Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial hosts 
Xenial's bind of /dev into the chroot includes /dev/shm which is in
use by the host.  An alternitive fix for this would be to use rbind
to recursivly bind mount /dev instead of just the base bind of /dev

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.

  • In order to run the vm element you will need to make sure sys-block/parted 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

  • You can set the GENTOO_PORTAGE_CLEANUP environment variable to true (or anything other than False) to clean up portage from the system and get the image size smaller.
