Looking at this patch, it is definatly promising, but needs a bit more work still.
I have a suggestion about how it is implemented.
Presently your patch has problems with a hardcoded DESTDIR, as you only
really hook into the unpack actions.
How about, for each package, make a directory
say ${PORTAGE_TMPDIR}/${P}/sources
and fill it with symlinks to the actual location of each item.
Then change DESTDIR to that directory for the remainder of the ebuild
run.
Remember to add something to clean it up afterwards.
This would enable all existing ebuilds to work without any
modifications. It would also make a lot of your logic quite a lot
simpler.
Two requests about your patch as well.
In UNIX, ':' is used as a convention for a path element seperator for
the simple reason it is easier in general to parse, and can also allow
the entire string to remain a single argument without needing extra
quoting.
I haven't dug further to see where new stuff is downloaded to, but how
about just making it the last or first directory in the list.
