These paths are all optional [1]. /var/cache/fonts /var/cache/man /var/cache/www /var/cache/<package> Gentoo isn't a package, so I don't think /var/cache/gentoo/* is appropriate. Here is my proposal: /usr/portage -> /var/db/repos/gentoo /usr/portage/distfiles -> /var/cache/portage/distfiles /usr/portage/packages -> /var/cache/portage/binpkgs I'm not 100% comfortable with /var/db, but I don't have any better suggestion either.
