You may want to look into the buildpkg option in make.conf. It builds them automatically for you as you emerge things. I've had a close call or two so I have had that set for many years now. If you do set that, remember to use eclean-pkg on occasion if you start using a lot of hard drive space. You also may want to look into eclean-dist too. ;-) Dale :-) :-)
