HOWTO: musl flavored gentoo

[DaggyStyle]

here is a howto for the brave souls who wants to run musl powered gentoo (musl is a posix supported libc replacement).
this howto is based on this: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Hardened_musl

first, enter the link above and see if you desired arch is supported, if so, download the relevant stage3 file (vanilla is best for desktop usage)
create the installation using the handbook.

when getting to "The Portage Tree" stage, do the following steps:

1. execute the following commands:

   Code:

   echo "dev-vcs/git -gpg" >> /etc/portage/package.use echo "app-portage/layman" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords emerge -q >=layman-2.2.0-r5 dev-vcs/git

   
   
2. sync layman by running

   Code:

   layman -L

   
   
3. create /etc/layman/overlays/gentoo-musl.xml with the following lines

   Code:

   ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE repositories SYSTEM "/dtd/repositories.dtd"> <repositories xmlns="" version="1.0"> <repo quality="experimental" status="official">     <name>gentoo-musl</name>     <description>Development Overlay for Hardened Gcc 4.x Toolchain</description>     <homepage>http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/hardened-dev.git;a=summary</homepage>     <owner type="project">        <email>hardened@gentoo.org</email>     </owner>     <source type="git" branch="musl">git://git.overlays.gentoo.org/proj/hardened-dev.git</source>     <feed>http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/hardened-dev.git;a=atom</feed> </repo> </repositories>

   
   
4. run

   Code:

   layman -L layman -a <the name you've given to it the stage before> echo source /var/lib/layman/make.conf >> /etc/portage/make.conf

   
   

continue with the handbook.

after finishing with the handbook you should have a minimal working musl powered gentoo.
