[linux-audio-user] [OT] kororaa report

Hello, as this is quite a gentoo specific post, I have marked it as off topic, but it should be interesting for others. So I have tried the kororaa installation. The install on itself is very easy, it looks like a debian install and it tooks less than 1 hour to have a fully functionnal but outdated Gentoo system. Alsaconf is used to detect the audio hardware, so my USB cards was not detected :( The kernel provided is quite old : 2.6.14 The install is using prebuild packages, but updating a package switch emerge to use the compilation way. After the installation, we have an outdated system, and here begin a nightmare that would totally disgusting any newcommers to the Gentoo system. The kororaa mainteners have masked or unmasked tons of packages, so the emerge world needs a lot of masking and unmasking work to be launched properly. In short, the upgrade process is directly broken. So to conclude, I would advise newcommers to Gentoo to use the traditionnal way of installing gentoo even if it takes 1 day and needs to use the command line. Regards Philippe
