Repo checkouts can be very very big, so you don't want to re-download |
| 32 |
everything every time you build a -9999 package, hence the use of |
| 33 |
persistent storage. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Using svn as an example, the first time you emerge the package portage |
| 36 |
will do a checkout. On subsequent times it will do an update, saving |
| 37 |
huge amounts of bandwidth. |
