Well, now you tell me after I went and moved the entire |
| 12 |
gentoo-src/releng folder which I had just created to gentoo/src... |

Too bad we can't rename this one... but that's another story. |

I didn't even know this one existed until now. It doesn't look to be |
| 27 |
used very heavily. |

Well, releng isn't using gentoo-src. We're using gentoo/src, at least |
| 38 |
for catalyst and now the releng folder, which is where I've added the |
| 39 |
kernel config files and spec files we will be using for releases. |

I can definitely see why we wouldn't want to move portage itself, being |
| 49 |
our bread and butter. I just wish I had known that my information was |
| 50 |
erroneous before I took the hour or two today to move the releng folder |
| 51 |
from gentoo-src to gentoo/src. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
Oh well... |
