Hi all, |

(I recently posted this stuff to-users, but there was no reply. |

Hopefully -dev is the right place.) |

How come gentoo doesn't follow the File Hierarcy Standard (FHS) more |
| 8 |
closely? For example, there are provisions in FHS to use /var/cache |
| 9 |
for stuff which applicatons can recreate if it doesn't exist (the the |
| 10 |
administrator can purge the directory at will). Putting |
| 11 |
/usr/portage/distfiles/ there seems obvious to me. But having |
| 12 |
edb/world |
| 13 |
in there (with all memory of your world configuations) seems not too |
| 14 |
smart. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
What's the philosophy around this? Shouldn't edb live in e.g. |
| 17 |
/var/lib? |

Cheers, |
