You're very welcome. Yes, emerge/ebuild will clean out
the files unless you put noclean (I'm going by memory as
I'm not at a gentoo machine) in FEATURES in
/etc/make.conf. That tells them to leave the files
behind.

First, as always, thanks! You are always very
helpful, and I do
appreciate it.
OK, so reading through man 5 ebuild and make.conf, I
guess that the
place I would expect to find the source files would be
either
WORKDIR = "${PORTAGE_TMPDIR}/portage/${PF}/work"
or
FILESDIR = "${PORTDIR}/${CATEGORY}/${PN}/files"
WORKDIR seems to work out to
/var/tmp/portage/<package>/work, which
doesn't exist on my machine:
Wizard alsa-driver # cd
/var/tmp/portage/alsa-driver-0.9.5-r2/
Wizard alsa-driver-0.9.5-r2 # ls
temp
Wizard alsa-driver-0.9.5-r2 #
Has some process cleaned this up? Maybe this is my
problem? I'm trying
to get to the Alsa source to do a patch. I know it used
to be here, but
tonight I cannot find it.
