Well, some patches are stored in /usr/portage/distfiles. Others are in

Does anyone know if there is an official way to clean the distfiles
directory of old sources. So far, the best I have is:
mount / -o remount,atime
emerge --fetchonly --emptytree world
find /usr/portage/distfiles -atime +1 -exec rm -v {} \;
mount / -o remount,noatime
