Hi guys’n’gals Before the introduction of repos.conf, we used several variables in make.conf to tell portage where to find stuff, such as GENTOO_MIRRORS and SYNC. My make.conf used to first define sensible defaults for those and then has the line:
source homenet.conf This file modifies those portage settings to reroute operations to within my own network. Oftentimes either my PC or laptop is (far) ahead of the other (tree sync, distfiles download). So to make them serve each other, which reduces load on public servers and vastly speeds up distfiles download, this homenet.conf file - prepends a gentoo mirror - sets the portage rsync server - enables distcc on the laptop So with a single (un)commenting of the source command, I could switch between “normal” mode and “homenet” mode. Since repos.conf came about, this doesn’t work anymore (the sync part, anyway, for now). So nowadays, when I want to switch mode, I need to change the source line and also need to change the sync-uri in repos.conf’s default repository. That’s too much work. :-D How would you advise to achieve what I’m after? Thanks-a-doodle and good night. -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me on any social network. I can resist everything, except temptation.
