Description Ole Tange 2002-08-07 19:44:25 UTC

/usr should not be used for something that is considered a cache.
/var/cache is probably better for this.

I suggest the default place for distfiles is moved to some place below /var/cache

This is changable in make.conf. Move it where you like.
Attach to a FHS bug, if you feel this is still an issue.
