Bonzer idea, mate! Though as a semantics suggestion, I propose |
| 9 |
"--add". Portage and the Gentoo initscripts are sufficiently similar |
| 10 |
that we may want to maintain the consistency. |

In fact, such a change might help to solve some of the FHS issues which |
| 13 |
were brought up recently. |

/var/db/pkg/ => /var/lib/portage/class/<classname>/ |
| 16 |
/var/cache/edb/world => /var/lib/portage/class/world/contents |
| 17 |
/etc/make.profile/packages => /var/lib/portage/class/system/contents |
| 18 |

This may be a difficult change to make right away, due to the many |
| 20 |
hard-coded references to /var/db, but is definitely worth keeping in mind |
| 21 |
for portage-ng. |
