 |
|
It may be needed to switch from source-based dev-lang/rust to binary-based dev-lang/rust-bin, for example to decrease build time.
emerge --ask --unmerge dev-lang/rust
emerge --ask --oneshot virtual/rust dev-lang/rust-bin
emerge --ask --update --deep @world
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Vazhnov/Knowledge_Base:replace_rust_with_rust-bin
Added '(use rust-bin)' into the title to make it clear that this isn't about compile time improvements. —Chiitoo |

| Heh, I have never made a build of rust, I hate it with a passion, not just for it's build time either. Was thinking binary packages that are actually in portage isn't really a tip or a trick, however I guess you may have bought it to many peoples attention that have no idea that packages like Rust, OpenOffice, Firefox etc have binary packages, maybe you could do a list of them all? |

| Code: | emerge -a app-portage/eix
eix -c -- -bin$ |

Heh .. I did the eix command based on the OP and was suprized at how many -bin packages are "in the tree."
| Code: | | EIX_LIMIT=0 eix -# *-bin |
89 lines result ... |

I actually hoped for a tip to actually decrease the build time of rust 
You can also list all -bin packages with emerge:
The % tells it you're using a regex.

There are binary-only packages in tree without the -bin suffix. |

I believe most of the electron apps are without that suffix.

Yes. Obviously searching on "-bin" in the package name won't find those. nvidia drivers used to be binary only, likely still are, and I assume many games are delivered "only binary." Saved local compile time is the only choice for all of those!! |
