Yeah, /var/db or /var/cache sounds good to me. I would encourage all those interested to coordinate with the catalyst developers to have the new defaults written in the make.conf that it generates. Having the new defaults explicitly recorded there does not require any changes to portage (though I will bring portage's internal defaults into sync as soon as possible). Also, I think it might help avoid confusion for users if they are able to see the new defaults explicitly recorded in make.conf (as opposed to /usr/share/portage/config/make.globals which is somewhat obscure). -- Thanks, Zac
