Description Raymond Jennings 2020-05-17 01:21:56 UTC 
The commented out default distfiles in the cron script says "/usr/portage/distfiles" instead of the new default "/var/cache/distfiles"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install tmpwatch
2.check /etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch
3.notice that the new default isn't in place
Actual Results:  
tmpwatch's script is old

Expected Results:  
tmpwatch's script would be updated after the reshuffle of /usr/portage
