As a Gentoo user I welcome the restriction. It seems that developers |
13 |
discretion was failing in some cases. |

Personally I feel strongly against files subdirs in portage tree. Just |
16 |
look at this statistics for files subdirs: |
17 |
|
18 |
7503 files subdirectories contain: |
19 |
22720 files (of that 7085 are files other than digest-*) of size |
20 |
16837645 bytes (15452582 when not counting digests) |
21 |
|
22 |
None of the files is needed prior to emerge -f. Most of them are never |
23 |
used, but have to be transfered on emerge sync and have to be on the |
24 |
harddrive. IMO this part of portage tree should be moved out and |
25 |
downloaded with sources on fetch step. |
