Ok, but that doesn't answer the main question... |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Mike Gilbert - apparently a gentoo dev - said that ideally we should |
| 25 |
remove the PORTDIR setting. |

This begs three questions... |

|
| 29 |
1. Is this correct? |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
2. If so, is there a definitive guide/news item/post somewhere that |
| 32 |
explains the details (how and why mainly)? |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
3. If not, why did Mike say this? |
| 35 |
