How? =46rom the emerge man-page: --usepkg (-k) Tells emerge to use binary packages (from $PKGDIR) if they are available, thus possibly avoiding some time-consuming compiles. This option is useful for CD installs; you can export PKGDIR=3D/mnt/cdrom/packages and then use this option to have emerge "pull" binary packages from the CD in order to satisfy dependencies. My biggest problem is the wording "to use binary packages (from $PKGDIR) >>if<< they are available" It hints that if a newer ebuild is availble it will still be compiled, and not taken from the pre-compiled repository. If I am wrong please let me know ;) Best regards Michael Boman --=20 Michael Boman Security Architect, SecureCiRT Pte Ltd http://www.securecirt.com --mR8QP4gmHujQHb1c Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE+mRWRds5fQJiraJwRAosaAKCWekRGqMWgNDgg1rJDIUF1dmEixQCdEF9N GBLUwow25y7VjQmA990jwws= =13tC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --mR8QP4gmHujQHb1c--
