[gentoo-user] Splitting gentoo into /usr and /usr/local

[gentoo-user] Splitting gentoo into /usr and /usr/local

[meino.cramer]

Hi,

 is there any reasonable way to keep any "stable" 
 installation (those done without using "~x86" in
 package.keywords) in /usr while anything installed
 as "unstable" (using "~x86) under /usr/local ?

 best regards,
 mcc

I doubt that could ever work. How would you deal with an ebuild moving from
unstable to stable?

As per definition /usr/local is only for user stuff, no ebuild will ever
install into it anything. But what you can di is using a prefix:
