Others have posted some good info but sometimes a example that is in use can help a lot. Here's what is in my make.conf: root@fireball / # cat /etc/make.conf | grep var PORT_LOGDIR=/var/log/portage/ source /var/lib/layman/make.conf DISTDIR="/var/cache/portage/distfiles/" PKGDIR="/var/cache/portage/packages" PORTDIR="/var/cache/portage/tree" root@fireball / # The last three are what you need to look at. I moved mine years ago, long before the defaults were changed and maybe even on my last rig. At the time, there was good logic for it being where I put it but I'm sure others have their own ideas and you may place yours somewhere else for yet another good reason. In all honesty, you can put them practically anywhere as long as portage knows where they are and the permissions can be set correctly. By the way, those are portage:portage for them all as far as I know. This is mine: root@fireball / # ls -al /var/cache/portage/ total 160 drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Dec 20 2012 . drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 Nov 11 03:39 .. drwxrwxr-x 3 portage portage 143360 Nov 11 00:07 distfiles drwxr-xr-x 109 portage portage 4096 Nov 11 01:22 packages drwxr-xr-x 175 portage portage 4096 Nov 10 20:09 tree root@fireball / # For those who question where make.conf is, it's a link to the real one. Saves me some typing and I don't have to remember where the thing went too. ;-) Y'all know how I am. lol Hope that helps, a tiny bit more anyway. You got some good info to start with. Dale :-) :-)
