GCC 4.9.4 is no longer available on Gentoo (or Sabayon), which causes problems when attempting to install on either of these platforms. Since QMK is not particularly sensitive to its GCC version, modify the version restriction to <9 so newer versions of GCC may be installed. Since the toolchain for arm-none-eabi isn't currently installed as part of setup, add that as well. Additionally, drop the Python installation as part of the Gentoo installation process. Python is a core system package on Gentoo and can therefore be assumed to be present; in addition, the slot restriction of 3.5 which was present is also no longer available in Gentoo. Finally, separate the gcc rebuild invocation of `emerge` from the new packages that may need to be installed, and apply the `--noreplace` flag to new packages so that they are not rebuilt if already present.
ZSA's fork of QMK Firmware
This purpose of this fork is maintain a clean repo that only contains the keyboard code that we need, and as little else as possible. This is to keep it lightweight, since we only need a couple of keyboards. This is the repo that the EZ Configurator will pull from.
Supported Keyboards
Maintainers
QMK is developed and maintained by Jack Humbert of OLKB with contributions from the community, and of course, Hasu. The ZSA branch is maintained by Drashna, ZSA's official QMK Liaison, and by Florian Didron, ZSA's lead developer, with input from Erez Zukerman (ZSA CEO).
Update Process
- Check out branch from ZSA's master branch:
git remote add zsa https://github.com/ErgoDox-EZ/qmk_firmware.gitgit fetch --allgit checkout -B branchname zsa/mastergit push -u zsa branchname
- Check for core changes:
- https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/commits/master/quantum

Strategy
To keep PRs small and easier to test, they should ideally be 1:1 with commits from QMK Firmware master. They should only group commits if/when it makes sense. Such as multiple commits for a specific feature (split RGB support, for instance)
Merging
Pull Requests should be merged/rebased, not squashed, so we can maintain a commit history that is close to QMK Firmware's, for ease of reference.
