Hi all

  I'm new to Gentoo (but not Linux) and must say this is a fantastic
system. Now I don't have to spend time building or customising binary
distros to fit my needs ;)
  First I must apologise if this is the wrong list to post this question
to, but I have been pouring over documents and forums and have been
getting hints of this and just need some help as where to find an
answer.
  Some background: Looks like I might have some projects requiring me to
put linux on small specific embed systems. After all is said and done,
Gentoo is looking like the best distro to build these systems with.
Since the systems will all be the same, there is no need for them to
build packages individually (just on a build server). The binary
tarballs created by portage will do the trick nicely, but rpms would
simplify things further (and be able to add signatures and such to the
binaries).
  I've noticed an RPMDIR option for portage but zero explanation about
it and the forums seem to only to discuss the installation of
third-party rpms. If portage can turn an ebuild into an rpm would have
me dancing in the streets ;). Thanks in advance for any help.
