Using a binhost

A binhost serves prebuilt packages that can save you a lot of time building these packages yourself, particularly on an embedded system like the B2 and B3. The Gentoo wiki has an excellent page on configuring and using a binhost

Sakaki provides a public Gentoo binhost (automatically updated weekly) to allow your B2 or B3 to perform fast updates via binary packages where possible, only falling back to local source-based compilation where necessary (using this facility is optional). The binhost also provides an rsync mirror for the main gentoo repo (with signed porthash authentication), used to keep the B3's ebuild tree in lockstep. If you run a recent version of Sakaki's gentoo-on-b3 or gentoo-on-b2 your system should already be configured to use this binhost.
