1 Sorry if this has been covered before, I see from the 15 March GWN that
2 2004.1 will include:
3
4 "Internet-based GRP for Portage's binary download and install functionality."
5
6 does this mean that individual precompiled per-arch binaries will be
7 available for download somewhere on the net, rather than (or as well as)
8 complete cd's of package files?
9
10 ie I could point a new box via some make.conf parameter to a package
11 mirror and just download the binary packages you want, rather than a
12 whole cd?
13
14 thanks again in advance.
