/usr/portage/distfiles is most definitely cache data and should be |
| 8 |
under /var/cache somewhere. Given that it has no auto pruning facility |
| 9 |
(wish list candidate!) it is the main reason why my /usr used to fill up, |
| 10 |
which then breaks installation at install time, rather than build time. |

(It is currently around 2GB on my system - I only periodically remember |
| 13 |
to prune it :-( Then again, I've moved it to /var already so that's ok.) |
