I'm only guessing, but I don't think PORTDIR is going away for a while. |

Eventually, portage will probably begin to warn you if you have PORTDIR |
22 |
set in your make.conf, and will tell you to move your settings to |
23 |
repos.conf (with a pointer to the man page or wiki). That'll stick |
24 |
around for another while. Then, you'll get a news item telling you that |
25 |
PORTDIR is going away in a month or so. |

Finally, your shit will stop working and that's your final warning =) |

More realistically, the portage upgrade might die or ewarn loudly if you |
30 |
still have PORTDIR set. |
