I would like to add that I believe the failure option is best. Further there |
| 8 |
is another problem with duplicate packages, that is duplicate distfile names. |

This will not work in the current portage. Maybe portage should use some |
| 10 |
automatic renaming feature in case of duplicates. Automatic prefixing of |
| 11 |
categoryname+packagename to the file should be doable. The only thing then is |
| 12 |
that the file unpacking code should first check for the prefixed filename. |
| 13 |
Using directories in distfiles (and maybe too in packages (where every file |
| 14 |
is in All)) could also solve possible conflicts. |
