Just use categories from repos? /usr/portage/distfiles/sys-devel/gcc-1.2.tar.bz2 /usr/portage/distfiles/sys-libs/glibc-2.3.tar.bz2 /usr/portage/distfiles/sys-libs/zlib-3.4.tar.bz2 /usr/portage/distfiles/zomg-soft/zomgawesomesoft-5.3.1.tar.xz (from zomg repo with custom zomg-soft category ;) Btw. what would happen if, ie. mc package - well, two different packages, one from app-misc, one from sci-libs - but lets say they have a brand new release 5.0 and there's mc-5.0.tar.bz2 for both of them?
