I set mine up this way and it seems to work OK. It's sort of along the |
| 29 |
lines of yours. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
root@fireball / # ls /var/cache/portage/ -al |
| 32 |
total 160 |
| 33 |
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Dec 20 2012 . |
| 34 |
drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 Jul 4 03:26 .. |
| 35 |
drwxrwxr-x 3 portage portage 143360 Jul 2 20:42 distfiles |
| 36 |
drwxr-xr-x 103 portage portage 4096 Jul 3 00:01 packages |
| 37 |
drwxr-xr-x 171 portage portage 4096 Jul 2 18:22 tree |

root@fireball / # |

If anyone wants to duplicate this, this is the relevant parts of make.conf: |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
DISTDIR="/var/cache/portage/distfiles/" |
| 45 |
PKGDIR="/var/cache/portage/packages" |
| 46 |
PORTDIR="/var/cache/portage/tree" |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
After I did the move, I think someone came up with a better place but to |
| 50 |
be blunt, I just didn't feel like moving it all again. It's not like |
| 51 |
portage really cares where it is anyway. |
