On another semi-related note, I've always thought it would be useful to |
| 6 |
extend repos.conf support to handle binary repos so one could use layman |
| 7 |
or equivalent tools to easily add binary repos, prioritize them however |
| 8 |
you like, and leverage them to get new installs quickly rolling or just |
| 9 |
for regular usage. That way PORTAGE_BINHOST and related settings could |
| 10 |
be tossed down the line and binary derivatives should be able to easily |
| 11 |
leverage such support. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Of course while talking about unimplemented features this would could be |
| 14 |
even more interesting alongside a better, spec-ed out binpkg format, |
| 15 |
perhaps something that supports splitting metadata and actual binary pkg |
| 16 |
data so the main metadata cache could be sanely synced around via git or |
| 17 |
similar. |

These have both been dream goals as I've poked at pkgcore over the past |
| 20 |
year or so (and yes I'm aware paludis implements something similar to |
| 21 |
these things already). |
