I want a way to have the server emerge packages on demand with custom flags from the target machine. This seems like something that should've been done before. I'm thinking maybe I should use something like distcc or icecc but with the client machine disabled. That way I can have a cluster in the future but for now just one machine

Gentoo in general is just disappointingly underfeatured. Soft USE flags need to be a thing but aren't and I can't see why. The firmware package is a retarded 1.7GB pack with thousands of devices instead of being scripted to install only the needed ones. Python has no place running major system components, including the package manage. Slow memory hog POS bloatoo rasin poop nigger

Also per package env flags are really annoying.

As far as I know there isn't a complete solution to this. You could do something like
>emerge package
>wrapper figures out what dependencies/use flags should be used
>sshes into the server, builds the packages in a chroot environment that matches laptop's environment
>server builds them and drops them in an http fileserver
>laptop pulls them
This whole thing wrapped in a script.

ATP I want to try making my own version of portage. I've chatted with some of the gentoo devs and they seem much more competent than me so my guess is that there is some unforeseen complexity I don't know about. If I do I'm going to write it in C and I'm calling it sortage

I'll make an outline of how it will work later. It will still work pretty much the same and use current ebuilds doe
