Well spotted. Thank you Alexander. The mystery as to why some > systems were converted and others require manual intervention > remains ... I made the transition manually the other day. I guess I might as well toss into this thread a couple of minor roadbumps I hit. The filename gentoo doesn't matter to portage AFAICT, but it does matter to other tools, e.g. mirrorselect, so use gentoo.conf. <https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Layman#Using_.27repos.conf.27_method_.28default_method_for_app-portage.2Flayman-2.1.0_or_later_.29> says `layman-updater -R` will update repos.conf/layman.conf as long as you have >=layman-2.1.0, but with layman-2.1.0-r3, I couldn't get it to work. I moved to layman-2.3.0 and it created the file fine.
