Application generated data goes into /var, not /usr, so your cache should be there as well (it's a question on the dev quiz even ;)). Also the portage team wishes for the hook to be opt in either via a useflag or a note to users to +x the script as was discussed on irc a few days ago. Thanks,
portage-utils does not care if it's /usr or /var or /sbin /dev or otherwise. What matters is that it defaults to saving it's cache in $PORTDIR Using commit message: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - added a note about how to disable the reinitialize script the first time it gets installed in case anybody finds it to be an inconvenience. (Portage version: 4283-svn) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/app-portage/portage-utils/ChangeLog,v <-- ChangeLog new revision: 1.56; previous revision: 1.55 /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/app-portage/portage-utils/portage-utils-0.1.20.ebuild,v <-- portage-utils-0.1.20.ebuild
portage-utils-0.1.21 no longer installs the reinitialize script with the +x bit.
