Just for the completeness and others who may read this thread and want
git as 
This was helpful:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Gentoo/comments/3i141w/now_that_portage_is_using_git_how_do_i_git_pull/

With the decription right at the start of the thread the remaining
things get synced also.

The news and glsa's are synced via separate git repos - no problems, but
it has to be setup.

Honestly, I don't use git yet.  I may switch to it eventually tho.  I
just googled and searched the wiki and all to see if I could help, and
learn something as well.  You may want to look at this.

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Portage/Sync#Changes

It should scroll down to the important part but you may want to give the
whole page a read.  You may find something else interesting. 

Some days, I miss the old way of having docs.  :/

:) "bat guano crazy" ... I add that to my dictionary...BEST! (I am
no native speaker).

Do I need to add anything else to get the full funtionality ?
I read on the internet about GLSA and news will be not sent/synced when using 
git...
but I couldn't determine the date of that post, so it may be something
from the transistion times...

What's about that?

Hi Alan,

...last time I tried to file a bug report I quit as I saw the
interface of the bugtracker and the sheer amount of "best practice"
docs and -howtos/faqs.
I understand, that to keep out request like "I dont like to sync on
mondays"...but currently it seems to me, that many other reports
will be stopped there, too...

The Blender bugtracker is much more easier...and I dont think, 
that the blender institute will be overrun by reports like "I dont
like renders of mondays"...

Only my two cents...your currency may vary... ;)

Cheers
Meino

I started not to mention that but when trying to help, sometimes you
just have to post anything you even think might help, even if it sounds
bat guano crazy.  lol

It is odd that it does that way.  I guess it would be safe to assume
that everything in /etc/portage behaves that way.  I recall playing with
using sets a good while back, I had to move the files to /root or
something to make sure they wouldn't get read if I didn't want them
included.  Live and learn I guess.

Glad it got you going.

I would file a bug/feature request for that. It's a very annoying thing
to trip over and many many packages now read only X.d/*.conf for that
very reason

Hi Dale,

thanks for your very helpful reply! :)

Not to have *.bak and such under.../repos.conf/... does the trick.

Would be nice, if emerge would only read files *.conf instead of
everything...

Have a nice weekend! :)

May want to look at this link.

https://wiki.gentoo.org/index.php?title=/etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf=378294


Maybe that will give better results, not that I see anything wrong with
what you have myself.  BTW, I did a forum search, make sure you don't
have other files in /etc/portage/repos.conf.  It seems that if you have
more than one, it takes the last one and runs with it.  Someone else had
gentoo.conf.bak and it was reading it instead of gentoo.conf.  It sort
of works like package.use and such.  Make sense?  I'm beat over here.  lol

Hope that helps.
