** while testing with osx/virtualbox I was able to build and export a vagrant box from gentoo stage3 and portage snapshots without any hiccups [[User:Lucas|Lucas]] ([[User talk:Lucas|talk]]) 11:19, 11 January 2014 (CET)
** is in dire need of DRY: [https://github.com/jedi4ever/veewee/pull/690] to make it worth forking
==== kernel ====
* at the moment we build tarballs for the kernel+initramfs and the modules using <code>genkernel</code> and have a separate ebuild which installs them
* ideally we would like to have an ebuild which takes the kernel sources (like the ebuild for <code>sys-kernel/gentoo-source</code> does), builds it according to some default configuration or a user configuration if available (<code>savedconfig.eclass</code>) and then installs the kernel and the modules as well as some minimal headers+configuration to build other packages requiring the sources to be present
* TODO: check whether dracut has some advantages regarding module loading over genkernel-generated initramfs
