crtdaydreams: signpost: is pentacle dead?

crtdaydreams: I'm looking to jump ship to something more palatable

crtdaydreams: main reqs being musl, no systemd (or systemdisms), gcc<=4.5.4, source compilation

crtdaydreams: afaik pentacle is pretty much exactly what I'm after at this point, even if it's got a considerably larger learning curve than an lfs derivative

crtdaydreams: I would be keen to build on your progress, if that means building and maintaining a few key programs' vtrees

crtdaydreams: I'm gonna ask, because I don't want to make it and get told either it's already done, or that it's a braindamaged thought process; vpatch distribution over pest

crtdaydreams: just a simple program that assembles a vpatch from n pest messages delimited by some string, i.e. -----BEGIN VPATCH----- and -----END VPATCH-----

crtdaydreams: just seems like an opportunity to take advantage of pest flood routing to distribute patches like a dht

crtdaydreams: do you have n patch? yes. can i haz patch? yes.

crtdaydreams: would effectively mean trusted patches by trusted peers are easier to obtain, one can simply block the download/distribution of lesser known peers

crtdaydreams: "oh you don't host bobs patches, whydat?" bob is a shitcunt here's why "oh ok"
