This seems to be a kludge. What if a package requires multiple source |
| 10 |
files that are in different DISTDIRs? Does that work? |
| 11 |

One further this with this. Which DISTDIR is used for live CVS ebuilds |
| 13 |
(that checkout to $DISTDIR/cvs-src) |

I believe 'A' is a list of all new SRC_URIs, and AA is a list of ALL |
| 19 |
SRC_URIs. I may be wrong tho, that was from quite a while ago that I dug |
| 20 |
into portage. |

I think being able to have multiple DISTDIRS is a very good move, I was |
| 34 |
wanting previously in Portage, but I never got around to coding it up. |
