Description Daniel M. Weeks 2018-07-01 21:42:15 UTC

This is similar to the combination of PORTAGE_RO_DISTDIRS and DISTDIR. For example, a closed environment (chroot, lxc, etc) for building packages where an existing PKGDIR is mounted RO but new packages built should be placed in a writable path.

Reproducible: Always

Since PORTAGE_BINHOST already allows an arbitrary number of binhosts, this could be implemented as file:// URI support in PORTAGE_BINHOST.
