I saw this (FEATURES="buildpkg") googling around.
1. What is a good list of software to use buildpkg on?
2. Once you decide those packages, where do you put
the list?
Surely I do not wish to use buildpkg on every installed
package, a few or maybe the entire @system. I have not
found the answer to [1] or [2].
This is muddy, because supposedly the "profile"
is suppose to protect the key packages for --depclean ?
[2] default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop *
So is gcc protected somehow by the "profile"?
I think not......
Still googling but not find any clear answers,
mostly cruft from years ago....

Short version, man make.conf for more info. buildpkg, keeps a binary of
EVERYTHING installed. Now buildsyspkg only keeps binaries for system
packages. If you have plenty of disk space, I would use buildpkg. If
you have a lappy or are short of disk space, then buildpkg would work.
Just keep in mind that some packages may not get saved. After thinking
about this, I'm pretty sure I lost python once and buildsyspkg didn't
keep a binary copy around. Just try to emerge something without python
installed. :-(
There is no list for you to keep. Portage does that.
That help?
