+I've been building a lot of [[Docker]] containers recently, using my
+[Dockerfile framework][dockerfile].  Building Gentoo containers from a
+seed stage3 is nice, but debugging iterations are a bit slow when you
+have to fetch all the source from distant the mirrors.  To work around
+this problem, I've written [package-cache][] which handles on-demand
+caching for content from the Gentoo mirrors.  Now you can setup a
+locale distfiles cache as easily as you can already [setup an rsync
+mirror for the Portage tree][local-rsync].  I've added a
+`net-proxy/package-cache` package to my [[wtk
+overlay|Gentoo_overlay]], and the `README` (on [PyPI][pypi]) has
+instruction on setting this up locally.  There are also [some
+Docker-specific notes][docker-notes] in my [dockerfile][] repository.
