How to build Gentoo packages with Shippable.
What are Gentoo packages?
Gentoo is a totally free Linux distribution. It uses the latest development tools and software technologies and is dedicated to quality rather than blindly following traditional usage patterns with binary packages and config files. Every part of Gentoo, including installation images, is free software; most of the source code is available to whoever wants it. Gentoo has been developed in an entirely open process, in which technical choices are made via discussion in email forums and IRC channels rather than by secretive members of some elite development cabal. Each package in Gentoo has its own maintainer who decides whether or not to include it; you are welcome to volunteer to Gentoo.
What is Shippable?
Shippable is the first CI/CD platform purpose-built for containerized microservices. Shippable declaratively defines the infrastructure your team needs to build, test, and ship containerized applications hosted on public cloud providers like Amazon Web Services, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, IBM Cloud, etc. Shippable automates the deployment pipeline that delivers your software into production. The deployment pipeline specifies the checks that are executed against each change you submit. You can also schedule these checks using cron expressions. This helps you eliminate problems early in the pipeline before they affect developers or users, helping you iterate faster and ship more often.
