with this command I can install a prebuild package on a pc. but I want to know 
how I can avoid to build the same package every week if there is no new 
version available (as I said, emerge --buildpkg builds a package regardless 
if there already exist a "packaged" version of this package in /usr/portage/
packages or not.). Assume a script execute once a week: `emerge --buildpkg 
apache tomcat samba ... (and other packages I need)`. So I don't have to 
build packages manually if there is a new version available. And I also 
need'n look for new versions of certain packages in portage.
