There is this experiment making available binary packages based on Gentoo |

profiles, care of dilfridge: |

Although the article mentions a systemd profile, I've tried it with an openrc |
| 14 |
installation and it worked fine. Binaries were downloaded and installed as |
| 15 |
part of a normal update, just as advertised. I didn't try any packages in the |
| 16 |
gentoo toolchain, as this could break things, but I can see the benefit of |
| 17 |
using this facility at least selectively to bypass long compilations. |
