You've just explained why PORTDIR defaulting to /usr/p= ortage=20 > is stupid. The logical location for the tree would be on /var ... :) >=20 I think the original reason for this is that FreeBSD ports is also in /usr/ports. FS-optimization freaks (like myself) can always generate a sparse file and/or mount /usr/portage somewhere else. A script that does the update after this (w/ remounting and the like) is no big magic.=20 Regards, Aleks --=20 gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
