Subject: | [gentoo-user] Annoying structure of /var/db/pkg/<category>/<package-name> database |

1 | Having package data in /var/db/pkg/<category>/<package-name> carries the nuisance factor that finding a package involves a fishing expedition through many possible categories. |
2 | |
3 | I am spoiled by having /var/db/pkg/<package-name> in NetBSD pkgsrc and FreeBSD ports, though FreeBSD is wsitching to a different structure nkwon as pkgng. |
4 | |
5 | Is there any way to configure so as to avoid this annoyance in Gentoo? Like maybe making /var/db/pkg/<package-name>? |
6 | |
7 | One can do |
8 | ls /var/db/pkg/*/<package-name> but this is still an annoyance. |
9 | |
10 | I have some limited experience with Gentoo Linux on my older computer. Compiling the kernel took 130 minutes, and then the kernel failed to boot. |
