meh..You want to build a depgraph on local ebuilds, and then try to find matching binpkgs after the fact? I'd imagine you'd have a lot of trouble finding matching packages, tbh :) Ebuilds in the tree will get updated, or your local USE flags will change; your binary packages won't match in either case here, because the tree has a more up to date package or a package with correct flags. Thats why the binary repo is used for the deptree generation. Talk to solar about binhost, I know he has a better implementation lying around; it's a matter of finalizing it ;) -- [email protected] mailing list
