    Description:
    Gentoo Linux has published a 2025
    project retrospective that looks at how the community has evolved,
    changes to the distribution, infrastructure, and finances for the
    Gentoo Foundation. Gentoo currently consists of 31663 ebuilds for 19174 different
    packages. For amd64 (x86-64), there are 89 GBytes of binary packages
    available on the mirrors. Gentoo each week builds 154 distinct installation stages for
    different processor architectures and system configurations, with an overwhelming part of these fully up-to-date. The number of commits to the
    main ::gentoo repository has remained at an overall high level in 2025, with a slight decrease from 123942 to 112927. The number of commits by
    external contributors was 9396, now across 377 unique external
    authors.
