Afternoon all,
As a step towards exporting my portage tree over NFS I decided to move
/usr/portage to /var/portage, but leave /usr/portage/packages and
/usr/portage/distfiles where they are.
This is how it looks now:
$ grep DIR= /etc/portage/make.conf
DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles"
PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages"
PORTDIR="/var/portage"
$ ls -l /etc/portage/make.profile
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 51 Oct 7 15:28 /etc/portage/make.profile ->
../../var/portage/profiles/default/linux/amd64/13.0
$ mount | grep portage
/dev/mapper/vg7-portage on /var/portage type ext4 (rw,relatime)
/dev/mapper/vg7-packages on /usr/portage/packages type ext4
(rw,relatime)
/dev/mapper/vg7-distfiles on /usr/portage/distfiles type ext4
(rw,relatime)
This seems to work OK, except for eix-update, which gives me this:
$ eix-update
Reading Portage settings ..
Building database (/var/cache/eix/portage.eix) ..
[0] "gentoo" /var/portage/ (cache: metadata-md5-or-flat)

Evidently something is still pointing to /usr/portage, but I can't see
what. I
used to have layman and a couple of overlays on this box, but they've
now
gone. Well, maybe I left something lying around.
I've grepped for likely-looking strings, read the docs and prodded
google, but
I can't see what I'm missing. Would someone please help me out? I'm
sure I'm
just being dense.
Try adjusting /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf
Sorry, didn't see the reply before.
