Why do you separate the distfiles from the portage tree?
Rgds,
distfiles has a tendency to grow large over the years. IIRC nothing
cleans it up automatically so having it separate is just a simple
safety mechanism to not run out of disk space after emerge -fDuN
@world, etc.
man eclean

Yes, true, but all I said was that TTBOMK nothing does it
automatically, not that it cannot be automated.

I use http-replicator and I wish it would clean distfiles from it
instead of /usr/portage/distfiles. When I run repcacheman, it cleans
out distfiles already. I just need to clean up http-rep's directory.
Right now, I do a emerge -ef world, rm http-rep's stuff then run
repcacheman again. Thing is, it cleans out all the stuff my x86 box
needs that my amd64 box doesn't since I always forget to run emerge -ef
world on the x86 box too. < sighs >
