I think I'd rather something closer to paludis's notion, don't assume |
| 20 |
its "portage", assume its a repository instead. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
/var/cache/repositories/gentoo/* |
| 24 |
/var/cache/repositories/perl-experimental/* |
| 25 |
/var/cache/distfiles/* |
| 26 |
/var/cache/packages/* |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Or something along those lines. ( And definitely with the default |
| 29 |
locations for distfiles and pkg's outside the repository tree instead |
| 30 |
of inside it ) |
