| Molecule is a build tool that can build, rebuild or extend Sabayon Linux or |
| Gentoo Linux OS releases OpenVZ templates and stage4 tarballs. |
| It doesn't contain any specific package manager bit and can work with |
| your favourite one. The philosophy of Molecule is simple: ease of use and |
| modularity. |
| Just like Catalyst, Molecule uses its own .spec file format and learning |
| how to write one is just about reading examples provided at |
| http://git.sabayon.org/molecules.git/. |
| You can tweak your ISO image or create one off your chroot (stage4) in no |
| time. Molecule uses a plugin-based system to implement support for new |
| execution patterns (like ISO to ISO, ISO to Tar, Chroot to ISO, etc). |
| Molecule is born inside Sabayon and is used in its release cycle for both |
| daily(live) and versioned ISO images. |
| Molecule developers are looking for help for writing user docs and HOWTOs. |
