Thank you all for the suggestion about make.conf.  I'd seen something

You could use /etc/portage/env/ to specify various emerge directives
for a
particular package, while the rest will be built using the default
settings.

Setting PORTAGE_TMPDIR in make.conf will define the default directory
for all
packages.

What is it you are trying to achieve?



Ah, that's the distinction.  Good, thank you.

I am currently moving all my files to the new location and have updated
make.conf appropriately.

80G for a root filesystem is not enough.

Set PORTAGE_TMPDIR in your make.conf. See `man 5 make.conf`.

Kind regards, tastytea.

Using the PORTAGE_TMPDIR variable (man make.conf).
