Using Gentoo I expect, that Gentoo - is source-based distributive and I can compile all progrms from the source. "-bin" suffix - is strong way to indicate, that package has precompiled binaries, not a source code. If package in official Gentoo overlay has precompiled binary program and has no any visual difference before source-based packages, than: 1) Gentoo lose his grants to naming as source-based distributive; 2) Gentoo officially distruct security of systems, by hiding packages with uncontrolled functionality.
Have you read https://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/file-format/#binary-packages ? "Such packages should still follow normal naming conventions and do not need any special suffix. If a binary package is provided in addition to its open-source based equivalent, the name of the former should be suffixed with -bin if necessary for distinction."
Yes, I read it. And I know, that any instructions may have mistakes. And I think, that that instruction HAVE mistake, as it conflicts with statement "Gentoo - is source-based distributive". Do you consider Gentoo a source-based distributive? Is Gentoo a source-based distributive or not source-based distributive? My question touches on a more fundamental topic, and if you cannot answer this question, you cannot claim that that statement is correct.
