pantry VS gentoo

(I did not downvote and can't even do it), but Gentoo does not accept art contributions of any kind (human/ai), there is just no place for this.

But in previous discussion[1] somebody mentioned that pkgxdev/pantry[2] generated image for RabbitMQ - "gloriously bonkers", I recovered the image from web archive - https://web.archive.org/web/20240419091549/https://gui.tea.x... . I guess I'll refrain from explaining what's wrong here....

Reading through the linked thread at https://github.com/pkgxdev/pantry/issues/5358 I'm in total agreement with Gentoo.

fascinating that the "creator of brew" didn't go ahead and shard the package names since it's almost inevitable that GitHub's /tree/ is going to start :sad-trombone: since it is not designed for viewing thousands of directories: https://github.com/pkgxdev/pantry/tree/main/projects

I'm also genuinely surprised they abandoned the sha256 from brew (e.g. "welp, it is what it is" https://github.com/pkgxdev/pantry/blob/main/projects/httpie.... ). Ah, it's an implied .sha256 path from their magic distribution something something: https://dist.pkgx.dev/?prefix=httpie.io/

checkout https://github.com/teaxyz/cli and https://github.com/teaxyz/pantry

Okay, let's do a short fact check on that:

1. Visit https://gentoo.org, notice logo in top left: a first sign of contributed art.

sync-depth = 1 sync-type = git auto-sync = yes location = /var/db/repos/gentoo sync-git-verify-commit-signature = yes sync-openpgp-key-path = /usr/share/openpgp-keys/gentoo-release.asc sync-uri = https://github.com/gentoo-mirror/gentoo.git ```

eselect repository add gentoo git https://github.com/gentoo-mirror/gentoo.git

And just wait till you discover Arch Linux, Gentoo, Guix, or NixOS.

I'm daily driving Gentoo GNU/Linux (https://gentoo.org). I prefer it over other GNU/Linux distributions because it allows me to customize the operating system down to a lower level. I'm also planning on installing Linux From Scratch (https://linuxfromscratch.org) for educational purposes. However, I might end up daily driving it. I do extremely difficult and tedious activities on my computer just for fun and I also happen to have a lot of free time. So don't question my choice of operating systems.

I can't access any of the gentoo.org services at this time (forums, bugs, etc.) They all report server errors.

Surely this info is on the official site, gentoo.org, so you don't have to worry about asking?
