Re: [gentoo-ppc-dev] portage and binary packages

[DaRonin]

I tried the davfs2 as well. Even though it seems like a good idea, I
don't think it's ready for mainstream yet.

  The directory browsing is very slow, so is the file coping.

  And when I ran it with emerge -k, it swaped about 50Mb when trying to
decompress a 4Mb file, and was still working on it after an hour.

  Refresh seems to be buggy as well. And it doesn't follow symlinks...

  I think I will just stick to smb over ssh solution for now.

  Thanks,

  daRonin
