I think the original reason for this is that FreeBSD ports is also |
| 11 |
in /usr/ports. FS-optimization freaks (like myself) can always generate |
| 12 |
a sparse file and/or mount /usr/portage somewhere else. A script that |
| 13 |
does the update after this (w/ remounting and the like) is no big |
| 14 |
magic. |
