Hi,
I need to clean disfiles or move it to /home/var/ftp/disfiles.
For first is there a tool to emerge that will manage the distfiles.
eclean - part of app-portage/gentoolkit
If not I was thinking copy to my home folder and symlink
/var/ftp/distfiles to it.
Is the second safe with just a symlink or should I change a PATH somewhere?
Change DISTDIR in /etc/make.conf to point to the new location
But this is not a good idea, as distfiles will be owned by root or portage and
it's in your home directory owned by you.
Rather leave distfiles where it is, and create a symlink in ~ that points to
distfiles. I can't imagine how your scheme would benefit you in any way.
I should do both solution.
thank you

I think he is running our of disk space and trying to move it to a
partition that has more space. He didn't say that but I think that is
the issue at hand.
I do suspect that this could cause . . . . issues in the long run.
Permissions is a good one to mention.

:-) :-)
yes it's exactly that, I did not choose the install partitionning. So I
moved portage, www and now disfiles from /var to /home/var.
For the other ones I did add a symlink also. Should I do that for
disfiles? What do you mean by permissions issues ??
Another question about emerge -v world, I go a empty manifest on layman.
What should I do to fix that ?
Thanks!
Laurent
