It's in the Gentoo handbook. When you install Gentoo you're supposed to create the file with the content they give; I really don't know why it's done that way, rather than including the file in the stage files. -- Regards, Peter.

E.g. create file /etc/portage/repos.conf/repos.conf From the portage man page: "Files in this directory including make.conf, repos.conf, and any file with a name that begins with "package." can be more than just a flat file" So yes, you can.

I have gentoo.conf (similar to the above), layman.conf and local.conf. I'm sure I created the last two myself, while instructions for creating the gentoo.conf were probably published in a news item pertaining to a portage upgrade a few years ago now. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

The computer hosting the mirror verifies each sync, doing so again is a waste of time.

That's right, and in there is an entry for the gentoo repo, edit it. Most files in /etc/portage can be directories, although some utilities get confused if make.conf is, portage just considers the contents as a single file. -- Neil Bothwick Computer apathy error: don't bother striking any key. pgp2i7ESTVkCP.pgp Description: OpenPGP digital signature
