The only issue with this is that all the files end up being owned by root. I'd just create /usr/portage, chown portage:portage /usr/portage, and then let emerge --sync take care of the rest. To cut down on replies, I'm not sure what the emerge --sync behavior is if you have changes in the tree. I suspect that as long as they don't conflict they'll still sync, but in general you shouldn't leave uncommitted changes lying around /usr/portage. It is just convenient to be able to tweak packages, get them cleaned up, and then generate patches. -- Rich
