Subject: [gentoo-portage-dev] rsync support for fetching binary packages

1 Hi.
2 Looking at getbinpkg.py, I see that BINPKGs can be retrieved using
3 http/s s/ftp. I'm wondering about rsync, as it is mostly supported
4 across portage (and also in layman). Is there some design reasoning
5 behind this lack of support, or is it that no-one has yet gotten around
6 to implement it?

8 I'm raising the question because I'm implementing a private repository
9 and would prefer not to service it via http if I don't have to. Right
10 now, the only feature which is blocking me is this lack of support for
11 binary packages.
12 10x,
