Wrong standard to choose from. ;-) /var/db/ is already required by the |
| 12 |
PMS for /var/db/pkg/. |

Is this important for a Gentoo specific directory? |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
/var/db/portage/ PORTDIR |
| 19 |
/var/db/layman/ layman storage |
| 20 |
/var/db/pkg/ VDB (no change) |
| 21 |
/usr/local/portage/ local overlays (no change) |
| 22 |
/var/cache/distfiles/ DISTDIR |
| 23 |
/var/cache/packages/ PKGDIR |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Alternatively, the last two could be under |
| 26 |
/var/cache/portage/{distfiles,packages}/. |
