I'm pretty sure emerge --sync pulls ebuilds into /var/db/repos/gentoo,
as for the files the ebuild mentions they are usually downloaded into
/var/cache/distfiles and for the patches, they are located into
/var/db/repos/gentoo/[category]/[package]/files. Built packages are put
into /var/db/pkgs. I'm unsure where anything else would go.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
