What program uses this "local" directory? It's not used directly by |
| 14 |
portage itself, though portage has an exclude for it in the default |
| 15 |
PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS setting (in /usr/share/portage/config/make.globals). |

For portage's defaults, I won't settle for anything less than having |
| 22 |
them all refer to separate directories which are *not* nested within one |
| 23 |
other. These are the current default settings which violate my requirements: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
PORTDIR=/usr/portage |
| 26 |
DISTDIR=${PORTDIR}/distfiles |
| 27 |
PKGDIR=${PORTDIR}/packages |
| 28 |
RPMDIR=${PORTDIR}/rpm |
| 29 |
