Or is this for some other reason? I created this chroot in order to run a monotone server. IIRC, at that time in June 2006, monotone (or perhaps monotone-server) was missing from Gentoo. Another reason is that the server is not powerful, so I needed a binary package. Finally, I administer the chroot, I don't have a lot of time for this, and I am used to Debian. -- Ludovic Brenta.
