Since using binary packages whereever possible, that is, where my perso- nal USE flag settings do not prevent their use, I never was quite sure how to interpret this passage: does option "--getbinpkg" imply "--with- bdeps=n" for ALL packages or only for those installable from the bin- host? Being cautious I always specified "--getbinpkg --with-bdeps=y", but this might well be overkill. Does anyone know for sure? Sincerely, Rainer
