Answer in a neighbor thread reminded me of a question that puzzled me |
| 2 |
from the start: what's the rationale behind moving layman tree |
| 3 |
from /usr/portage/local to /usr/local/portage? |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
I can see why all ebuilds belong in the same /usr/portage tree - |
| 6 |
separate (optimized) fs, easy to backup (snapshot?) or omit from backup |
| 7 |
(a lot of small files, completely irrelevant to system operation), easy |
| 8 |
to share between several machines along w/ packages built from it, |
| 9 |
and /usr/portage/packages should be inconsistent w/o layman tree, if |
| 10 |
it's used at all... but moving it to /usr/local, which isn't used |
| 11 |
by gentoo at all seem completely irrational to me, why? |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Oh, and I know that I can keep it all in the same place, of course, and |
| 14 |
I always do just that, still... |
