We're finally ready to move. Starting tomorrow the default build system will be Portage and the old tools will start disappearing throughout the day. If you need help or have questions please speak up. We have an initial set of docs for building your own version of Chromium here<https://docs.google.com/a/google.com/Doc?docid=0AR6uZRmm2hgYYzgyY2MzO...>and they'll be posted to the chromium.org site shortly.
Many people put in lots of long nights and weekends to make this work out, including, tedbo, msb, adlr, cmasone, bradnelson and robotboy. Thanks for all the hard work.

OK, with the portage build, how do I run the dev server? Is there a new "board" argument or something? At the moment, it fails to find the built images.
And when I fix get_latest_image.sh to have a board in the path, it gets served by the dev server, but the build has a problem with libcros.so loading, so the login is disabled when I boot.
OK, that's cool. Looks like Brad just re-opened the tree!
Another question: Is there any way to build an individual package anymore? When I run make_pkg.sh in the window_manager dir, it appears to be missing the correct path to dpkg-buildpackage. Running scons there doesn't work anymore either (for similar reasons).

Sorry I meant to add that it'll be in your chroot as opposed to the old location ... so the full path will be something like {path_to_your_chroot}/build/your_board_name/packages
