This is true. Where can be set in make.conf and |
| 29 |
/etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf. I have mine in /var/cache here. |
| 30 |
At one point, that seemed to be the place it was going to end up. Then |
| 31 |
it changed after I moved mine. :/ Examples for OP. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
/etc/portage/make.conf:DISTDIR="/var/cache/portage/distfiles/" |
| 34 |
/etc/portage/make.conf:PKGDIR="/var/cache/portage/packages" |
| 35 |
/etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf:location = /var/cache/portage/tree |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
root@fireball / # ls -l /var/cache/portage/ |
| 38 |
total 152 |
| 39 |
drwxrwxr-x 3 portage portage 143360 Dec 13 22:42 distfiles |
| 40 |
drwxrwxr-x 108 portage portage 4096 Dec 13 22:40 packages |
| 41 |
drwxr-xr-x 174 portage portage 4096 Dec 12 18:25 tree |

OP, with that info, it should help you put it wherever you want. Don't |
| 46 |
forget to check the permissions, owners and group settings too. |
| 47 |
|

Hope that helps. |
