10 Not directly. I'm assuming you mean packages you built yourself and
11 quick-pkg'ed them, not something available as a -bin

13 You can use emerge -K, so emerge will fail if there's no binpkg
14 available. This will do what you want as long as you
15
16 a) always use the -K option
17 b) don't try emerge something else as well
