Is it possible, that when you are using --usepkg with emerge, could get emerge to download the binarie file from a server, just like it would if you're gonna compile the source code? And could I set this feature in the variable "feature"? I didn't see that it was possible. What I'm trying to say, is that some kind of option in /etc/make.conf you could use, just like the variable "gentoo_mirrors" but instead have it to download the binarie file from a list of server, if the file is availible. If the variable was called "gentoo_binaries" it would look like this: GENTOO_BINARIES="http://ftp.fredan.org/gentoo/binaries/amd-athlonxp" to get the binaries files optimized for amd athlon xp processor. -- //fredan -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
