BPF is a rapidly growing technology that allows executing code in a safe environment inside the Linux kernel. Packaging the software makes it available to the broader public of Linux users. In this talk we will discuss how BPF software can be packaged for Linux distributions and Gentoo Linux specifically. We will also discuss some challenges that distribution packagers face when dealing with BPF software and how it is possible to overcome them.

RISC-V support across Linux distributions has significantly improved over the past few years. Thanks to this, developers and users are able to set up Linux environment easily on RISC-V platforms. Major desktop environments (e.g. KDE, Gnome) and applications have gained RISC-V support, enabling users to have a full desktop experience on RISC-V. This talk will give an overview of readiness and future work for RISC-V on Gentoo Linux and other Linux distributions.
