PORTAGE_RO_DISTDIRS ignored or don't work or work not as expected Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. set PORTAGE_RO_DISTDIRS="/usr/local/portage/distfiles" in make.conf 2. download required tarball to /usr/local/portage/distfiles 3. emerge some package from overlay Actual Results: new tarball downloading from server and PORTAGE_RO_DISTDIRS ignored (if tarball downloaded to PORTDIR then all works) Expected Results: if tarball download to PORTAGE_RO_DISTDIRS then all works emerge --info Portage 2.2.7 (default/linux/x86/13.0, gcc-4.3.4, glibc-2.11.1, 3.0.8-std240-i586 i686)

After more than 6 years PORTAGE_RO_DISTDIRS still doesn't seem to work with sys-apps/portage-2.3.99-r2. Would it be difficult to fix this functionality in portage?
It works fine for me.

It seems this was a misconfiguration issue on my side. After finding this old bug, I incorrectly attributed the fault to Portage. I apologize for the trouble.
