I'm fed up with the outdatedness of the Foresight iso (can't install it on my system because of the kernel), and I want to start my own distro. I want to start from a Gentoo stage3, and install conary; however, when trying to install conary, I can't get the files from here:

http://foresight-commits.foresightlinux.org/conary/files?t=conary;v=/foresight.rpath.org%40fl%3A2-qa/1361176998.939%3A2.4.9_c8940fc-1-1;f=1%23x86_64%7C5%23use%3A%7E%21bootstrap

Anyone have any ideas?

Also, will Conary be the binary equivalent of Gentoo's Portage? The reason why I don't want to use any other distro's package manager is that I want something that allows me to customize my binary packages with things like USE flags (troves in Conary do this, right?) except I don't want to compile from source every time (gets frustrating to wait).
