Hello Matt,
thanks for making the decision what to use on the office computer just a
tiny bit harder :-)

Subject [gentoo-user] Gentoo on WSL (feedback and testers wanted!)
* End user testing and feedback: If anyone with access to Windows 10 or
11 is willing to try installing the tarball (.tar.xz masquerading as
.wsl) and pointing out any rough edges I would really appreciate it
Download, double-click .wsl, wait a bit, done.
After running it from the start menu, I wanted to install sudo (muscle
memory...)
and this happened:
stefan@pc23 ~ $ su -c 'emerge sudo'
Password:
!!! Section 'gentoo' in repos.conf has location attribute set to
nonexistent directory: '/var/db/repos/gentoo'
!!! Invalid Repository Location (not a dir): '/var/db/repos/gentoo'
!!! /etc/portage/make.profile is not a symlink and will probably prevent
most merges.
!!! It should point into a profile within /var/db/repos/gentoo/profiles/
!!! (You can safely ignore this message when syncing. It's harmless.)
!!! Your current profile is invalid. If you have just changed your
profile
!!! configuration, you should revert back to the previous configuration.
!!! Allowed actions are limited to --help, --info, --search, --sync, and
!!! --version.
I'll uninstall the image for now, let me know when I can try again.
Kind regards,
s.
