The only Gentoo for non-rooted phones without fakeroot. Also works on rooted Android phones.

It is in beta stage, so USE ONLY IF

(1) you understand that there will be bugs

(2) you are ready to report full bug reports (ideally, with the full shell session captured by bin/script or GooglePlay's "Terminal IDE", in text format)

(3) you have an experience of installing a package in Gentoo Linux.

It installs in directory /data/data/com.spartacusrex.spartacuside/gentoo_armv6l of application "terminal IDE" from GooglePlay. The option EPREFIX of Gentoo prepends semi-automatically /data/data/com.spartacusrex.spartacuside/gentoo_armv6l to all paths, at compile time. Limited to ARM (similar to armel/raspian).

I am using gentooandroid at work, for everyday tasks (firefox, pdflatex, gnucash, sshfs, ...). The installation needs 1.8Go free space at least, on my phone it currently takes 6 Go.
