One thing all you /usr naggers forget is, that /var cannot be shared |
| 6 |
read-only via nfs (or bind mounts in case of virtual servers). most |
| 7 |
single-machine users probably don't care, but there is more out there |
| 8 |
than just your workstations. so putting portage into /usr is perfectly |
| 9 |
valid. The only thing that violates the FHS is that "Large software |
| 10 |
packages must not use a direct subdirectory under the /usr hierarchy." |
| 11 |
A location beneath /usr/share probably would have been more compliant. |

Anyway, since i'll keep my overlays in /usr/local regardless of the |
| 14 |
outcome this thread has, i don't care :) |
