Gentoo does not, by default, use binary packages as other [[package management system]]s do (like [[RPM Package Manager|RPM]]), employing instead a format known as the ebuild. Whereas RPMs are precompiled [[binaries]], ebuilds are [[shell script]]s with variables and functions which contain a description of the software, and instructions on how to obtain, configure, [[

There are over 27,000 ebuilds available, the majority of which are distributed by the Gentoo [[Mirror (computing)|mirrors]].
