1) there should be something to clean up the cache for it (some command that does rm /var/cache/edb/metadata.idx.most_recent /var/cache/edb/remote_metadata.pickle) i would sugest somthing like "emerge --binmeta" another solution would to make the cache working :p caching dosnt work good, if you change a useflag on the binhost the cleint will not notice. 2) emerge -avtk should show how the binary packages useflags differ from the systems. i would sugest blue or pink color for it e.g if you merge gtk from source you have -tiff, but the bin package has +tiff so the user should get notified that merging the bin package a unwanted useflag would be inserted. this is a feature request, nothing esential, but it would make the life of binhost user easier. thanks in advance
