list of gentoo binary packages
binary, gentoo
Solution
`eix *-bin` will give you all the bin packages in `portage`. There is also `PORTAGE_BINHOST`, which is probably what you are looking for.
Problem
Installing gentoo in my old laptop is a painful work, as the weekly update can make the poor cpu extra hot. To stick into gentoo with less emerge effort, I decided to use binary files for large packages e.g., chrome, firefox, libreoffice ect. Just wondering if there is a list of packages that provides binary ebuilds in the repo, so that I can quickly identify these package and swap them into binary ones?
