So layman users choosing alternative A. now may want to add a step;
after moving the directory, put a soft link in the /usr/local/portage
pointing to the new location; i.e.
cd /usr/local/portage; ln -s /var/lib/layman layman
Thanks, I was planning on doing the same thing and glad to be validated...
Question: the news itme also mentioned the reason as something like
'layman violates the general rule that nothing in portage should touch
anything in /usr/local'...
Well... my local overlays (that I set up a long time ago) are there...
and portage obviously 'touches' those, so... should I move them as well?
I did; I simply moved the whole layman directory. Works.
