Good point. My local overlay's in /usr/local/ (which is a dedicated |
| 7 |
partition I actually keep several backups of, including my netbook's |
| 8 |
copy), for exactly that reason. |

(Actually, /usr/local is a symlink, to a shorter path that's the actual |
| 11 |
partition, /l, and both PORTDIR and my local overlay are simply "p" (/p |
| 12 |
being a symlink to the gentoo tree in /usr/src), so I configure and |
| 13 |
access the overlay as /l/p, and simply /p for the gentoo tree, but the /l |
| 14 |
partition is also reachable via /usr/local symlink. But however it's |
| 15 |
identified, the partition reachable as either /l or /usr/local contains |
| 16 |
the local overlay, and is backed up multiple ways including on an |
| 17 |
entirely separate machine, which its own copy of the same /l aka /usr/ |
| 18 |
local.) |
