It doesn't necessarily imply a source build, since you can have multiple |
| 27 |
binary packages available. With FEATURES=binpkg-multi-instance, you can |
| 28 |
have multiple local binary packages of the same package version in |
| 29 |
PKGDIR. Even without FEATURES=binpkg-multi-instance, you can also have |
| 30 |
multiple binary packages of the same package version coming from |
| 31 |
multiple binhosts. |

Adding "using source builds is disabled" would be a valid way to clarify |
| 38 |
the meaning of --usepkgonly. |

Not instead, but in addition to. |
