buildpkg

what is the difference between FEATURES="buildpkg" and EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--buildpkg" in /etc/portage/make.conf?

It seems nothings

Code: Select all

FEATURES
...
              buildpkg
                     Binary packages will be created for all packages that are merged. Also see quickpkg(1) and  emerge(1)  --buildpkg  and  --buildp‐
                     kgonly options.
...

Code: Select all

       --buildpkg [ y | n ] (-b short option)
              Tells emerge to build binary packages for all ebuilds processed in addition to actually merging the packages.  Useful for maintainers or
              if  you  administrate multiple Gentoo Linux systems (build once, emerge tbz2s everywhere) as well as disaster recovery. The package will
              be created in the PKGDIR directory (see make.conf(5)).  An alternative for already-merged packages is to use quickpkg(1) which creates a
              tbz2 from the live filesystem.

There may be one minor technical difference. If you put it in EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, then a command-line run using --ignore-default-opts will ignore it. If you put it in FEATURES, it will not be ignored by --ignore-default-opts.
