The Gentoo Linux project published their 2025 retrospective this week with their many accomplishments, including the recruitment of four more developers and now being up to 31,663 ebuilds and a total of 89GB worth of x86_64 binary packages on mirrors.

Gentoo in 2025 moved away from GitHub to the Forgejo-based Codeberg in order to avoid Microsoft Copilot usage of their repositories. On the financial front, Gentoo moved their financial structure over to Software in the Public Interface (SPI).

      Gentoo is volunteer-run. The people doing all this work don’t expect any money. Rare in this day and age, I know. If you check the actual report, it’ll tell you where the money went (mostly hosting).
