distfiles are not part of repository. The /usr/portage/distfiles path |
| 10 |
is just wrong and you shouldn't be using it. |

It follows masters. First the repository with ebuild. If it's not |
| 15 |
there, it looks through all masters, then their masters etc. |

Yes. 'man 5 portage', look for eclass-overrides. Note that this will |
| 21 |
effectively discard metadata cache and therefore make stuff slow after |
| 22 |
syncing . |
