Since /home has a lot of free space, you could put portage (along with |
| 12 |
distfiles) on /home, and after you're satisfied it works OK remove portage |
| 13 |
from /usr, gaining back at least around 1GB or so. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
cp -a /usr/portage/ /home |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Just to be safe, temporarily rename /usr/portage to portage.old |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
mv /usr/portage /usr/portage.old |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Then change the /etc/make.profile symlink to point to the new location. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
cd /etc |
| 24 |
rm -rf make.profile |
| 25 |
ln -s /home/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2006.0 make.profile |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
(this is just an example from my system- you may using a different profile- |
| 28 |
check with emerge --info) |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Edit /etc/make.conf (add this line) |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
PORTDIR=/home/portage |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Run an emerge --sync to check if it works. It should, and you can then do: |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
rm -rf /usr/portage.old |
| 37 |
