The (well, at least one) problem is that you're only thinking about |
| 15 |
individual packages. However to be of any real use you'd need all |
| 16 |
packages to use the same system configuration. Otherwise you'll get ABI |
| 17 |
breakages and other runtime errors. Oh, and people using those binaries |
| 18 |
would ahve to use the same system configuration as well (or at least a |
| 19 |
very similar one). |

This pretty much rules out devs submitting home-build binary packages |
| 21 |
of ebuilds they maintain to a central repository. |

In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, 'Let there be |
| 29 |
Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better. |
