Afaik, mirrorselect doesn't support setting PORTAGE_BINHOST yet. I have |
8 |
not actually checked, but would be suprised if it did. It would indeed |

be good if PORTAGE_BINHOST could just use the GENTOO_MIRRORS setting for |

looking for binary packages. Maybe this would be a reasonable default. |

Could you please talk to carpaski about this and work out some solution |
12 |
that will be acceptable? Remember that if something doesn't work right, |
13 |
it is always possible and often beneficial to fix Portage to make it |
14 |
work better for our users and to avoid unwanted complications in our |
15 |
docs. |
