Description Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2018-01-08 08:17:52 UTC
Currently, quickpkg will create a binary package even if there is already an identical package existing with the same BUILD_TIME metadata. It would be smarter if it automatically avoided creating duplicates. This behavior would be useful in the implementation of the unmerge-backup and downgrade-backup FEATURES, since the code currently has to check for a duplicate package before it calls quickpkg.
