In regards to binaries... No. Very insecure and will not be supported by portage any time soon, if ever, without proper officialness-testing. GRP/binpkg support already exists as an officially supported system for distributing binary packages. Support for alternate distfiles/sources is still a reasonable request though. A proper daemon to support the p2p-style file transfers would be required first though. |
