Description Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2016-06-19 20:27:04 UTC 
Per PMS 11.1 [1, note: wording improved in git master] the directory pointed by FILESDIR must not be accessed from global scope of an ebuild and in pkg_* functions. The value of this variable is only provided for setting variables such as PATCHES that are used later in src_* phases.
