1 All,

3 I know this has come up before, but I don't really recall what the
4 specific objections were.
5
6 IMO the portage directory doesn't belong under /usr at all.
7 I was chatting with another developer who uses
8 /var/cache/portage/{tree,distfiles}, and I'm thinking about switching my
9 default setup to do this.
10
11 I realize that historically the portage tree has been installed under
12 /usr, but Can we consider changing this default for new installations
13 and providing instructions for users for how to get the portage tree out
14 of /usr?
15 William
