Boh ... IMHO /usr/portage should be a squashfs filesystem, rsynced from |
37 |
some kind server out there, auto(un)mounted, so it releases resources |
38 |
after use. |
39 |
No needs for any additional partition (which sound kinda lame for a |
40 |
package manager) |
41 |
|
42 |
However the devs are right here, handbook should be stripped down, not |
43 |
bloated with details that could be fulfilled later |
