Description Michael Jones 2023-08-07 02:24:41 UTC 
There are no savings to be gained by installing a binpkg of packages in these catagories versus merging the ebuild normally.

Perhaps a new flag that an ebuild can set to inhibit making a binpkg of itself?

to work around this, i've taken to adding the following to my make.conf

EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="${EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS} --buildpkg-exclude 'virtual/* sys-kernel/*-sources */*-bin acct-user/* acct-group/*'"

Reproducible: Always

You'd then break usepkgonly.

It's somewhat related to the idea in bug 885827 combined with bindist.
