You need to edit /etc/layman/layman.cfg to change the storage setting. Thanks Neil... I actually did that, but I also stupidly copy/pasted the new PORTDIR_OVERLAY line, and left them BOTH in make.conf... Duh... Once I commented out the old one, eix-sync worked fine with no errors... Then I mv'd the old /usr/portage dir, did an emerge -pvuDN world, and discovered one more thing that must be done after moving PORTDIR... You must reset your profile link, which is broken after mv'ing the old /usr/portage dir. eselect profile set 1 (in my case) Thanks to all for helping me with this and prepping for merging /usr back into / (this was part of that, to reduce the amount of stuff to copy, and to give me a little more free space on / after the move). Looking forward to getting this done and moving on with my life,,, ;)

I've now copied and rearranged /usr/portage, so that I have the above, and I also copied /usr/local/portage to /var/portage/local. But what are the permissions supposed to be/need to be for each of these? Currently, they are: /var/portage/tree (portage:portage, 755) /var/portage/distfiles (root:portage, 775) /var/portage/packages (portage:portage, 700) /var/portage/local (root:root, 755) So, why are the owners and perms not the same for all of these? Or, more importantly, should I change any of them, and if so, to what? Thanks

And just ran eix-update for the first time since moving portage, and got a couple of strange references to the old locations... First, at the beginning of the main sync (but after layman finished syncing), there was a reference to 'duplicate references to...' Do I need to re-run layman now to point it to the new repo locations?

Set PORTDIR for backward compatibility with various tools like: euse - bug #474574 euses and ufed - bug #478318 PORTDIR=/usr/portage
