Erm, why should we invent something new on top of var which is something that about everywhere it's suggested NOT to do? Using /var/lib clearly spells "back this up yourself". Using /var/cache clearly spells "can be lost without consequences". Using /var/tmp clearly spells "things will be deleted". /var/repositories sounds just like "NIH", seriously. Somebody already proposed "/var/db" — that probably makes more sense if you want to go that route, although I wouldn't put distfiles or packages there. -- Diego Elio Pettenò — Flameeyes flamee...@flameeyes.eu — http://blog.flameeyes.eu/
