I use metro (wrote a little HOWTO on it: < |
| 6 |
http://neuvoo.org/wiki/index.php?title=Create_Image/Building >) and it |
| 7 |
asks emerge to --buildpkg at every stage. It keeps binaries separate |
| 8 |
per stage. The end result, as long as you told it not to clean, is |
| 9 |
three folders with a binary repo in each. It will re-use these |
| 10 |
binaries in future stage builds, if you don't clean it out. |

If you don't want it building stages, it's very easy to configure |
| 13 |
metro to do exactly what you want. It still has to be figured out to |
| 14 |
some extent, but the format is much simpler than catalyst and takes |
| 15 |
less time to customize properly. |

I'm not sure what "long run" looks like as I have yet to enter the |
| 18 |
"long run". As far as I can tell, metro will always build and update |
| 19 |
binary repositories when you ask it to. ;) |
