So... if the change from /usr/portage to /var/portage was official, is |
| 18 |
there any (official) documentation on precisely how to move it? |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Hmmm.... more importantly, when did this change occur? Is it possibly |
| 21 |
tied to portage 2.2? The reason I ask is, I'm still on 2.1, and man |
| 22 |
portage still has references to: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
/usr/portage/sets |
| 25 |
/usr/portage/metadata |
| 26 |
/usr/portage/profiles |
| 27 |
/usr/share/portage/config |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
and man make.conf still says: |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
PKGDIR = [path] <snip> |
| 32 |
Defaults to /usr/portage/packages. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
and most importantly: |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
PORTDIR = [path] <snip> |
| 37 |
Defaults to /usr/portage. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
So... are you quite certain that this default has in fact changed? |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
I know that it is probably trivial, but I like to read official docs for |
| 42 |
things like this... |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Thanks again... |
