Just use categories from repos? |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
/usr/portage/distfiles/sys-devel/gcc-1.2.tar.bz2 |
| 17 |
/usr/portage/distfiles/sys-libs/glibc-2.3.tar.bz2 |
| 18 |
/usr/portage/distfiles/sys-libs/zlib-3.4.tar.bz2 |
| 19 |
/usr/portage/distfiles/zomg-soft/zomgawesomesoft-5.3.1.tar.xz |
| 20 |
(from zomg repo with custom zomg-soft category ;) |

Btw. what would happen if, ie. mc package - well, two different |
| 23 |
packages, one from app-misc, one from sci-libs - but lets say they have |
| 24 |
a brand new release 5.0 and there's mc-5.0.tar.bz2 for both of them? |

probowal zjesc dziesiatego, z miejsca dostawal torsji. |
