I have a couple of questions to the developers.

[The Winged Redcat]

I'm trying to prove a point to someone here hence why I'm asking.

Is Chromium OS/Chrome OS based on Gentoo?

How do y'all manage USE flags when working with Chromium OS packages?

Do y'all use emerge directly, or do you rely on cros_sdk and chromite exclusively?

Have y'all ever had to write or patch an ebuild for ChromiumOS?

[Mike Frysinger]

yes, it's based on Gentoo

we use profiles & overlays

since Gentoo/portage only provides a package manager (emerge), not overall board tooling, we provide higher level commands like build-packages & build-image to initialize a cross-compiler environment for a board, build all the packages for it, and generate bootable disk images.

yes, we write ebuilds all the time, and send changes to Gentoo.  you can look at Gentoo's main overlay tree and see plenty of @chromium.org or @google.com authors in it.
