> I guess /var/portage is not a terrible choice. Well, I double that. I've already use the following structure: |- /var/portage/ | |- repos | | |- gentoo | | |- reponame1 | | |- reponame2 | |- distfiles | | |- ... | | |- ... | |- packages | | |- ... | | |- ... | |- meta | |- layman | |- ... # (used to be used for layman stuff until eselect-repository)
And I think it's pretty fine and usefull, especially because distfiles/ packages does not belong to one specific repo (gentoo) as it does with /usr/ portage.
