Description Kacper Kowalik (Xarthisius) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-08-22 07:13:08 UTC 
It would be really nice if we could store both foo[-bar] and foo[bar] in $PKGDIR. As far as I can see, all required information is already in Package file. All we need is a mechanism to distinguish files, like e.g. hash of USE as a suffix.

Am I too naive?

It can be done. The most obvious hurdle is that portage's bindbapi class currently assumes that there is only one package instance per cpv.
