binpkg-multi-instance 3 of 7

FEATURES=binpkg-multi-instance causes an integer build-id to be
associated with each binary package instance. Inclusion of the build-id
in the file name of the binary package file makes it possible to store
an arbitrary number of binary packages built from the same ebuild.

Having multiple instances is useful for a number of purposes, such as
retaining builds that were built with different USE flags or linked
against different versions of libraries. The location of any particular
package within PKGDIR can be expressed as follows:

	${PKGDIR}/${CATEGORY}/${PN}/${PF}-${BUILD_ID}.xpak

The build-id starts at 1 for the first build of a particular ebuild,
and is incremented by 1 for each new build. It is possible to share a
writable PKGDIR over NFS, and locking ensures that each package added
to PKGDIR will have a unique build-id. It is not necessary to migrate
an existing PKGDIR to the new layout, since portage is capable of
working with a mixed PKGDIR layout, where packages using the old layout
are allowed to remain in place.

The new PKGDIR layout is backward-compatible with binhost clients
running older portage, since the file format is identical, the
per-package PATH attribute in the 'Packages' index directs them to
download the file from the correct URI, and they automatically use
BUILD_TIME metadata to select the latest builds.

There is currently no automated way to prune old builds from PKGDIR,
although it is possible to remove packages manually, and then run
'emaint --fix binhost' to update the ${PKGDIR}/Packages index. Support
for FEATURES=binpkg-multi-instance is planned for eclean-pkg.
