I think Dan just did just misinterpret your question for something much more basic. In fact, you're specifically asking for portage's binhost configuration, i.e. binary package generation and distribution. I don't think that portage is currently very good at that, especially regarding the configurability of the binary package fetching. If I were you, I'd rather use sshfs or similar in order to give access to the main binary repository and then use "emerge -K" instead of "emerge -g". That way you're somewhat on the safe side. Another option would be to setup the binhost for HTTPS and make the clients aware of the correct cert's public representation. -hwh -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
