I would recommend to use F2FS filesystem, since you have only Linux systems.

Well, at least for me it's much easier just type

genkernel --oldconfig=/etc/kernels/

than

cp  config
make oldconfig
make
make modules
make install

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Default config is maintained by genkernel developers (
https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/genkernel.git/tree/defaults).
Definitely you should build own kernel configuration, and genkernel can
significantly ease this task.
genkernel supports --menuconfig and --oldconfig (which placed into
/etc/kernels by default) options, so you can customize and rebuild new
versions of kernel based on customized config.
I suggest to read https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Genkernel for final
enlightenment.

Re: [gentoo-user] EAPI packages

[Azamat Hackimov]

Hello.
Try to install first lower version of cryptography:

emerge -av1 =cryptography-1.1.2

This version require at least cffi-1.2.1, which don't need EAPI 6.
Next try to install portage:

emerge -av =portage-2.2.28

Re: [gentoo-user] 2 MTA at the same host

[Azamat Hackimov]

Hello.

You know, this is very unusual configuration. I don't even can imagine why
you need both of them.
In order to resolve mutual block, you need to remove "!mail-mta/postfix"
and "!mail-mta/exim" strings from RDEPEND in both packages. Don't forget to
place modified ebuilds to local overlay.
