The sources, and compiled files, are deleted from PORTAGE_TMPDIR when the emerge completes. the only time they are left there is if the emerge fails for any reason. If you want to ensure this directory does not fill up with the remnants of failed emerges, put this in /etc/conf.d/local.stop rm -fr $(portageq envvar PORTAGE_TMPDIR)/portage/* -- Neil Bothwick After we pull the pin, Mr. Grenade is NOT our friend!
