Description Fabio Rossi 2008-12-30 21:43:45 UTC

I'm proposing to reorganize the files related to Gentoo inside /var/lib. Currently we have this situation (on my system):

/var/lib/eselect
/var/lib/gentoo/enews
/var/lib/herdstat/
/var/lib/module-rebuild
/var/lib/portage

The main dir should be /var/lib/gentoo so I'd see all gentoo-related files as

/var/lib/gentoo/eselect
/var/lib/gentoo/enews
/var/lib/gentoo/herdstat/
/var/lib/gentoo/module-rebuild
/var/lib/gentoo/portage

What do you think about?
