Hi |

|
3 |
The manipulation as explained by Spencer is Ok. |
4 |
I certainly missed the "export PKGDIR=xxx" when reading the documentation. |
5 |
|
6 |
I thought it was automatic, since there are (uncommented) |
7 |
"PORTDIR=/usr/portage" and "PKGDIR=$(PORTDIR)/packages" statements in |
8 |
/etc/make.globals. |

|
10 |
Thanks a lot to both of you |
