I actually like the /var/cache/repositories approach. You can always |
| 13 |
add a symlink to it if you want to for convenience (as I already do |
| 14 |
for /var/lib/portage/world). There is really nothing special about |
| 15 |
/usr/portage, other than it being the lowest-priority overlay. |

As far as the local one goes - again this is configurable in |
| 18 |
/etc/make.conf, and we don't really need to pre-create that directory |
| 19 |
either. |
