This is not a personal attack against you. Just picked this one to say |
| 27 |
something again... |

PLEASE, PLEASE stop calling it the "portage" tree. The repo name is |
| 31 |
"gentoo". "portage is the default package manager, but not the only |
| 32 |
choice. Far too often, it takes awhile to figure out what someone is |
| 33 |
trying to say because of that confusion between the tree and the |
| 34 |
package manager. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
PLUS, it has been decided already long ago that the directory name |
| 37 |
should reflect the repository name. We have been enforcing that rule |
| 38 |
for overlays for a long time. It has just been taking a long time to |
| 39 |
get our tooling in order so that we can change our own to follow that |
| 40 |
rule. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
So, "portage" should not be a directory name in the new default path. |
