Hi all,
(I recently posted this stuff to-users, but there was no reply.
Hopefully -dev is the right place.)
How come gentoo doesn't follow the File Hierarcy Standard (FHS) more
closely? For example, there are provisions in FHS to use /var/cache
for stuff which applicatons can recreate if it doesn't exist (the the
administrator can purge the directory at will). Putting
/usr/portage/distfiles/ there seems obvious to me. But having
edb/world
in there (with all memory of your world configuations) seems not too
smart.
What's the philosophy around this? Shouldn't edb live in e.g.
/var/lib?
Cheers,
/Anders
