The source code is available here: https://gitlab.com/fedora/packager-tools/mass-prebuild Although it is quite Fedora specific, adapting it to any derivative should be relatively straightforward (mainly a matter of configuration). Which means that so far, to use it, you need a bit of knowledge regarding RPMs, and an account with access to a COPR and Koji infrastructure. I believe it can be adapted to be usable by other distributions, with a bit more work (implementing builder backends, abstracting DNF/Koji API calls to use other package managers). If you are willing to contribute to get it working for Gentoo environment, you'd be very welcome. > > Maybe a mailing list to announce likely breakage and stuff which may > need backporting. > > Best, > sam
