gentoo-sources is not part of the guaranteed package set for the binhost. Any package *may* end up built on the binhost, either as a dependency for another package that stops being a dependency because the other package has changed, or due to the fact that we run a few different build configurations, including choosing a couple packages by lottery each day. Those may be available only for an older version in the ::gentoo tree if they don't get lucky a second time. > "--binpkg-respect-use=y" makes no difference as emerge(1) suggests this > is the default. It is only the default when using --getbinpkg, not when you are instead using --getbinpkgonly. -- Eli Schwartz
