Gentoo recently drops old release schedule and focus on new Weekly or Monthly automatic release build.

And more, There is (may be) no more Gentoo Catalyst for release build for the Gentoo, and that means, Catalyst project is gone.

Because of new release model and attempt of Daniel Robbins (former Gentoo leader and founder), he decides to bring Gentoo and his own Gentoo Portage Overlay project called Funtoo to the next steps. By providing something that let people build distribution and customization based on Gentoo and Funtoo more easier and have larger user based. Daniel have create new automatic build mechanism called Metro (Wtih the release 1.1 currently released).

Gentoo developer now working closely with Dainel to get this thing working for gentoo release as well, but not much activity on this. Gentoo councils now seems to focus on based system (such as EAPI, Baselayout) than the release engineering or building things.

Let's try Funtoo. Just For Fun.

P.S. You should to watch videos on Daniel's blog. Much fun !
