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

+ Varnish is an HTTP accelerator. An HTTP accelerator (often called Reverse Proxy)
+ is an application that stores (caches) documents that have been requested over
+ the HTTP protocol.
+ Based on certain criteria the next client requesting the document is either
+ given the cached document, or a "fresh" document requested from a backend
+ server. The purpose of this is to minimize the requests going to the backend
+ server(s) by serving the same document to potentially many users.
+
+ The goal of Varnish is to be a very fast, stable and effective light-weight HTTP
+ accelerator daemon, by using modern and effective technologies. Ease of
+ managment and good documentation is also a main goal of the project since the
+ lack of either one will render Varnish useless.
