Section 5.5.2 describes the directory structure of /var/cache. These |
14 |
paths are all optional [1]. |
15 |
|
16 |
/var/cache/fonts |
17 |
/var/cache/man |
18 |
/var/cache/www |
19 |
/var/cache/<package> |

Gentoo isn't a package, so I don't think /var/cache/gentoo/* is |
22 |
appropriate. Here is my proposal: |
23 |
|
24 |
/usr/portage -> /var/db/repos/gentoo |
25 |
/usr/portage/distfiles -> /var/cache/portage/distfiles |
26 |
/usr/portage/packages -> /var/cache/portage/binpkgs |
27 |
|
28 |
I'm not 100% comfortable with /var/db, but I don't have any better |
29 |
suggestion either. |
