If users keep precious distfiles in a separate dir (which can be |
| 13 |
specified with PORTAGE_RO_DISTDIRS) then the distdir is pretty much a |
| 14 |
cache. |

That would work too, except that the top level of the gentoo repo |
| 20 |
would be at /var/lib/package-manager/repos/gentoo, which is awkward to |
| 21 |
type (especially if you compare it to /usr/portage) and has already |
| 22 |
_five_ path components. |
