I can see why all ebuilds belong in the same /usr/portage tree - separate (optimized) fs, easy to backup (snapshot?) or omit from backup (a lot of small files, completely irrelevant to system operation), easy to share between several machines along w/ packages built from it, and /usr/portage/packages should be inconsistent w/o layman tree, if it's used at all... but moving it to /usr/local, which isn't used by gentoo at all seem completely irrational to me, why? Oh, and I know that I can keep it all in the same place, of course, and I always do just that, still... --=20 Mike Kazantsev // fraggod.net --Sig_/yP9mr/7SHULUvh3229_.x_5 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkolQwYACgkQASbOZpzyXnH5jQCg5o9ss2G0PzCa/JQpON36/dyZ iV8AoKFQpiEwLCOrZB7COlaUq863P3Ms =Aknp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/yP9mr/7SHULUvh3229_.x_5--
