[gentoo-user] Where does emerge --sync store the versions of pkgs for updates?

I'm trying to track down why sometimes binary packages on my server
aren't used by my client.

Does anyone know where the information gotten by emerge --sync is stored?

You can find where your is with this:


root@fireball / # cat /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf | grep location
location = /var/cache/portage/tree
root@fireball / #


Mine is not a default location so yours will be somewhere else most
likely. 

Hope that helps.

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.

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
