European Union Public Licence, version 1.2 GentMaint is a collection of simple bash scripts to aid the maintanence of a Gentoo Linux system. You should give them a good look before actually using them, and you're strongly discouraged from using them as cron jobs, even though that's what I designed (some of) them for ;-). They can be used under the conditions of version 1.2 of the EUPL.

Code

You can obtain GentMaint through git, by downloading a tarball or by emerging it from the AstroFloyd repository:
  SourceForge Git repository and tarballs for GentMaint
  GitHub Git repository for GentMaint
  Gentoo Emerge GentMaint using the AstroFloyd overlay (add it with layman -a AstroFloyd)
