Put 512 blocks of pseudo-random stuff in /tmp/md5src. I think Dan just |
| 10 |
did just misinterpret your question for something much more basic. |

In fact, you're specifically asking for portage's binhost |
| 13 |
configuration, i.e. binary package generation and distribution. I don't |
| 14 |
think that portage is currently very good at that, especially regarding |
| 15 |
the configurability of the binary package fetching. |

If I were you, I'd rather use sshfs or similar in order to give access |
| 18 |
to the main binary repository and then use "emerge -K" instead of |
| 19 |
"emerge -g". That way you're somewhat on the safe side. Another option |
| 20 |
would be to setup the binhost for HTTPS and make the clients aware of |
| 21 |
the correct cert's public representation. |
