1 Currently we put portage into /usr/portage and all related stuff is to
2 be in the subfolders there (distfiles, binpkg).
3
4 I've always myself override these defaults in make.conf to point for
5 /var/portage/ (not /var/lib because I never bothered enough how to
6 make world and config files to be put elsewhere :P).
7
8 The only reason why we have this currently in usr is that bsd ports
9 put their stuff in there and I suppose Daniel just did the same.
10
11 With respect to reality how stuff is done in the linux land all the
12 variable data should be in /var so we should adjust and move it in
13 there too.
14
15 What would you think?
