[gentoo-user] Portage files' layout changes

I remember many moons ago, that the files that Portage used under /var were re-organized and in some cases paths changed. Can anyone remember the exact changes? I want to clean out any old files that might be left hanging around from earlier Portage versions. -- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org maili
