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