I was thinking about something similar too. In my opinion it's a great |
| 12 |
feature. If/when there are any bugs to get this implemented, please let |
| 13 |
me know. |

A possible alternative implementation would be to make the sandbox deny |
| 16 |
access to anything outside DEPEND. One totally crazy idea to make that |
| 17 |
fast are extended attributes (portage would record which package a file |
| 18 |
belongs to when merging the file). Another possible solution is using a |
| 19 |
cache. |
