| 10 | It is not in PMS/EAPI, presumably because binpkgs are a Portage-only |
| 11 | feature. (Things like profiles/license_groups aren't in PMS either...) |
| 12 | |
| 13 | The feature is documented in emerge(1) and ebuild(5) or |
| 14 | https://devmanual.gentoo.org/eclass-reference/ebuild/ though, and it |
| 15 | exists since 2007: |

| 18 | But yes, I would be in favour of documenting RESTRICT=bindist and |
| 19 | ACCEPT_RESTRICT in the devmanual and in the handbook. Maybe here would |
| 20 | be a good place: |
