Description Andrej Filipcic 2006-09-25 02:08:00 UTC

portage-2.1.2_pre1-r2 uses locking to access binary packages in PKGDIR. When using with "emerge -aK pkg" on a cluster, the binary install is extremely slow (serial). That also makes read-only PKGDIR unusable for binary distribution.

Okay, I guess we don't really need to lock them. :)
