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

external contributors was 9396, now across 377 unique external
