I don't agree that we should create a "gentoo" root directory; however, |
| 9 |
to be technical, /usr/portage is wrong. |

This isn't on everyones system, so I think it is up to the user and what |
| 22 |
you are putting in it. Maybe /var/cache/portage/overlays? |

/var/log/portage? They are logs so they should go where all other logs |
| 35 |
are. |

/var/lib/portage is ok for this I think. |

/var/db/pkg is fine for this I think. |
