When emerging a package, portage reports: >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking [...] to [...] >>> Source unpacked. But this is not realy clean when emerging binary packages which will not be compiled, so do not include sources. Maybe this can be changed to a more general phrase like "Extracting packages" or "Preparing files". I know it's just a detail, but since binary packages are also getting popular for gentoo, this should be adapted.

Um, source != source code, but well...
(In reply to comment #1) > Um, source != source code, but well... Ok, your right. When I first read it, I didn't know about binary packages so I allways had source=source code in mind. So this becomes a very fussy discussion ;)
As Carsten said.
