A very little nit. make.conf says that PORT_* variables that are directories should not end in '/', but the example PORT_LOGDIR does. portage-2.0.46-r6
where does it say 'PORT_*' should not end in / ?
vapier: in make.conf from make.conf # Each of these settings controls an aspect of portage's storage and file # system usage. If you change any of these, be sure it is available when # you try to use portage. *** DO NOT INCLUDE A TRAILING "/" ***
