Was referencing per home binrepo's; basically (if desired by the admin/user), binpkg backups of per user home targets.
End result is per user FEATURES="buildpkg" support, with the binpkgs safely tucked away within $HOME of the user. If we're already doing the dep calculation of what nodes are needed, and where (home prefix, or global, etc), don't see why that info can't be tucked away and used as a restriction for the binpkg generated for that particular user... ~brian -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
