So the Portage tree would move from the second level (/usr/portage) to |
| 16 |
the fourth level? IMHO this is unacceptable. Make it /var/cache/gentoo |
| 17 |
or /var/cache/portage; the /var/cache directory really isn't so |
| 18 |
overpopulated that there's a need for hiding things in subdirs. |

Also I wonder if local overlays should be in /var/cache? It might not |
| 21 |
always be possible to restore them. |
