My use case is basic: 2 home computers, I do emerge et. al. on the |
| 31 |
faster one and produce binary packages to be used on the other one, |
| 32 |
which doesn't even need distfiles, just portage tree plus binary |
| 33 |
packages. I copy stuff between boxes with rsync via ssh. Simple |
| 34 |
enough and it seems to be working fine. |
