The idea behind it is that the repo_name of the binhost is not necessarily useful. In many cases it will contain the default repo_name value, since people just create binpkgs with a standard Portage install. I agree it is a hack. Perhaps a combination of the repo_name and its url would be the best. -- Fabian Groffen Gentoo on a different level -- gentoo-portage-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
