No, completely wrong. The default tree location is going to be moved |
| 13 |
from /usr/portage to somewhere in /var (they never could agree where) |
| 14 |
and distfiles and packages directories are being moved out of the |
| 15 |
PORTDIR tree directory. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Current catalyst master code has tree paths hardcoded everywhere. Not |
| 18 |
only that, but the paths are often used as both a path and a variable |
| 19 |
name in many places. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
That makes it impossible for the tree move to happen and have catalyst |
| 22 |
work correctly to produce stages, etc. with the new default locations. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
That is why I started to work on catalyst in the first place. But the |
| 25 |
code is such a mess, I couldn't stop there with the encouragement of |
| 26 |
many from the releng team. |
