1 Hi,
2
3 In reference to this forum post -
4 https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1091144-highlight-.html , I was told
5 that several users found wrong information in the portage error logs
6 pointing them to the wrong directory for distfiles to be downloaded and
7 placed in for the emerge to work when the tree variable was displayed to
8 the user, for the user to place the downloaded files in.
9 Instead of not using the tree variable to point to the distfiles location
10 (and having a less descriptive error message), was using some other form of
11 keeping a track of where the files are stored discussed? Or figuring out
12 why the variable pointed to the wrong directory?
13
14 I could take a look at it if that is a feature you would be open to having.

16 Regards,
