Technically mgorny is correct here. FHS requires that everything under |
| 21 |
/var/lib be under a directory for the package or for the distro [1]. |
| 22 |
Note the comment about packaging support in 5.8.1. |

Based on that this is my thought: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
* /var/lib/portage is for portage specific stuff -- maybe even /var/db/pkg |
| 27 |
in the future should go to /var/lib/portage/pkg. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
* /var/lib/gentoo, on the other hand, could be where repos, distfiles |
| 30 |
and binpkgs go. |
