Even $PKGDIR? That's not a good idea unless you have identical

I didn't save those back then. I very rarely use the -K option
anyway. I build them now but I only used it once in the past couple
years. It's like having backups, you hope you never need them but
knowing you have it sure does make one feel better. ;-)
Knowing I have them but they've been overwritten by packages for
different hardware wouldn't make me feel that much better :(
I'm not being clear enough again. Back then, I didn't save the binaries
so that wouldn't be a problem. I'm not even sure portage kept them back
then to be honest. They may have but that was a looong time ago. Now,
I save them but I use rsync for the tree and http-rep* for the
distfiles. So, each rig has its own set of binaries and that solves
that problem.
Make sense? I hope my new meds get settled in soon. lol
