I did create my own pan SVN ebuild, however, integrating it with the regular portage packaging system. Of course, compiling isn't such a big deal anymore with dual-cores and gigs of memory. (I'm running dual Opteron, soon to upgrade to dual-cores, 8 gigs memory, /tmp as tmpfs and that's where all the compiling scratch files go, so they don't even hit the drive until installation.) In a few years, I expect compiled from scratch will begin to take off, as there'll no longer be a major difference in install time, and compile from scratch has some benefits that'll begin to outweigh the decreasing time difference. Honestly, I'm not sure I'd have had the patience to do it on hardware below the dual Opteron 242s I'm using now, tho I respect those that do, but change is change. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
