Dear Developers, |

I like your goal to make Gentoo more user-friendly but Gentoo is a source |
| 4 |
based distribution and I dont like binary versions as a default. My question |
| 5 |
is: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Who has problems with "big" packages like rust or firefox ? |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Only User which doesnt know there is a binary version. So, in every case we |
| 10 |
need to describe it in our AMD64 handbook. |

I am dreaming about another solution where this is not needed: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
In our /etc/portage/make.conf we can have a new: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
MAKEBIN="rust firefox" |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
... resulting in an automatic switch to the binary version of all included |
| 24 |
packages ... of course this is also as recommendation in our AMD64 handbook |
| 25 |
(with a clue to delete it if not desired). |

Kind reagards, |
