Others have posted some good info but sometimes a example that is in use |
| 36 |
can help a lot. Here's what is in my make.conf: |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
root@fireball / # cat /etc/make.conf | grep var |
| 40 |
PORT_LOGDIR=/var/log/portage/ |
| 41 |
source /var/lib/layman/make.conf |
| 42 |
DISTDIR="/var/cache/portage/distfiles/" |
| 43 |
PKGDIR="/var/cache/portage/packages" |
| 44 |
PORTDIR="/var/cache/portage/tree" |
| 45 |
root@fireball / # |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
|

The last three are what you need to look at. I moved mine years ago, |
| 49 |
long before the defaults were changed and maybe even on my last rig. At |
| 50 |
the time, there was good logic for it being where I put it but I'm sure |
| 51 |
others have their own ideas and you may place yours somewhere else for |
| 52 |
yet another good reason. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
In all honesty, you can put them practically anywhere as long as portage |
| 55 |
knows where they are and the permissions can be set correctly. By the |
| 56 |
way, those are portage:portage for them all as far as I know. This is mine: |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
root@fireball / # ls -al /var/cache/portage/ |
| 60 |
total 160 |
| 61 |
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Dec 20 2012 . |
| 62 |
drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 Nov 11 03:39 .. |
| 63 |
drwxrwxr-x 3 portage portage 143360 Nov 11 00:07 distfiles |
| 64 |
drwxr-xr-x 109 portage portage 4096 Nov 11 01:22 packages |
| 65 |
drwxr-xr-x 175 portage portage 4096 Nov 10 20:09 tree |
| 66 |
root@fireball / # |
| 67 |

For those who question where make.conf is, it's a link to the real one. |
| 72 |
Saves me some typing and I don't have to remember where the thing went |
| 73 |
too. ;-) Y'all know how I am. lol |
| 74 |
|
| 75 |
Hope that helps, a tiny bit more anyway. You got some good info to |
| 76 |
start with. |
