I've been pushing for the portage tree to move somewhere in /var for awhile. Also I think the tree and layman overlays should be under the same master directory, then portage, pkgcore,... could just quickly scan the master directory & sub directories to auto-add the valid overlays there. No need to add them to PORTDIR_OVERLAY something like /var/cache/repositories/ /var/cache/repositories/gentoo /var/cache/repositories/x11 <== overlay /var/cache/repositories/local <== overlay /var/cache/repositories/distfiles <== move it out of the tree dir. /var/cache/repositories/packages <== move it out of the tree dir. -- Brian Dolbec <dol...@gentoo.org>
