Now, let me bring up the subject of binpkgs. Largely ignored is this: http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/default-prefix/ - it is historically "tough" to relocate our prefix binaries, so (IIRC), the binaries that grobian put up there have a really long path that gets condensed with chpthtool (paths can only be shrunk, not grown). This is largely preventing me from providing binaries for the 6+ prefix arches that I have simply because I don't have time to maintain my 'production' prefixes in my /home NFS *and* a super long pathed prefix. Alternatively, I was debating about making a standard "/opt/gentoo" prefix installation to provide something. Again, the same boat regarding maintaining multiple prefixes. Although, that "/opt/gentoo" prefix is a very similar approach to any such stage3 solution like this. Any brainstorming thoughts? (Excuse the any ignorance on my part with regards to binpkgs, I'm still a newb in that area :P ) -Jeremy
