1 According to man portage:
2
3
4 --getbinpkg (-g)
5 Using the server and location defined in PORTAGE_BINHOST
6 (see make.conf(5)), portage will download the
7 information from each binary package found and it will use that
8 information to help build the dependency
9 list. This option implies -k. (Use -gK for binary-only merging.)
10
11 --getbinpkgonly (-G)
12 This option is identical to -g, as above, except it will not
13 use ANY information from the local machine.
14 All binaries will be downloaded from the remote server without
15 consulting packages existing in the local
16 packages directory.

19 Ok, so what is diference? -g will fetch ALL packages in PORTAGE_BINHOST and use
20 them to construct the deps and the other......
