The peer-to-peer system would be interesting for the source package as well |
18 |
as the binary one. While one may claim that the use/cflags combination is |
19 |
too big, I, on the other side believe that the vast majority of the user are |
20 |
using quite similar flags. Also, the variation of the USE flags could be |
21 |
reduce if the USE file inside the /var/db/pkg folder only contained the one |
22 |
that was actually making a difference for the output of that package. |
