I think the original reason for this is that FreeBSD ports is also in /usr/ports. FS-optimization freaks (like myself) can always generate a sparse file and/or mount /usr/portage somewhere else. A script that does the update after this (w/ remounting and the like) is no big magic. Regards, Aleks -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
