proj/gentoo: Initial commit
This commit represents a new era for Gentoo: Storing the gentoo-x86 tree in Git, as converted from CVS. This commit is the start of the NEW history. Any historical data is intended to be grafted onto this point. Creation process: 1. Take final CVS checkout snapshot 2. Remove ALL ChangeLog* files 3. Transform all Manifests to thin 4. Remove empty Manifests 5. Convert all stale $Header$/$Id$ CVS keywords to non-expanded Git $Id$ 5.1. Do not touch files with -kb/-ko keyword flags. Signed-off-by: Robin H. Johnson <robbat2@gentoo.org> X-Thanks: Alec Warner <antarus@gentoo.org> - did the GSoC 2006 migration tests X-Thanks: Robin H. Johnson <robbat2@gentoo.org> - infra guy, herding this project X-Thanks: Nguyen Thai Ngoc Duy <pclouds@gentoo.org> - Former Gentoo developer, wrote Git features for the migration X-Thanks: Brian Harring <ferringb@gentoo.org> - wrote much python to improve cvs2svn X-Thanks: Rich Freeman <rich0@gentoo.org> - validation scripts X-Thanks: Patrick Lauer <patrick@gentoo.org> - Gentoo dev, running new 2014 work in migration X-Thanks: Michał Górny <mgorny@gentoo.org> - scripts, QA, nagging X-Thanks: All of other Gentoo developers - many ideas and lots of paint on the bikeshed

+I just noticed that netpipes doesn't support bidirectional pipes.
+So I made my own version.
+Now I can say in computer A that "plis 12345 -io ohjelma" and in computer B that "pcon A 12345 -io ohjelma2",
+and they communicate together then.
+My example utilization was that I can send the picture of SNES-emulator to another
+computer via network, and grab the keyboard input there, so get two consoles to
+the same game.
+My friend wanted to watch when I play FF6, but didn't want to sit next to my monitor,
+and asked if he could get the picture to his monitor.
+And he got it.
+Then he asked if he could play it from his computer at the same time as me...
+And now it works too.
+Other ways of use can everybody invent theirselves.
+It's really easy to make simple server software with this.
+For example, do "plis 79 -io finger" and then you have a finger-service.
+Or "plis 5555 -o 'cat signature'" and then port 5555 gives your signature.
