I don't really like the cache variant here as that data should be able |
| 18 |
to be reconstructed by the application, which a distfile etc necessarily |
| 19 |
isn't (e.g for fetch restricted packages it might get lost), but |
| 20 |
/var/lib/package-manager/{repos,distfiles,packages} works well for me |

Can it cause confusion to thinking it is an installer etc? Gentoo is |
| 37 |
more than just the ebuild repository, so maybe something like |
| 38 |
gentoo-ebuild{s,-repository} ? |
