 necessary to set up a gentoo github mirror based sync system:
 
 * Configures Portage to sync via https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo.git URL.
-* Updates metadata-cache (the first update might take long, all subsequent ones not).
+* Updates metadata-cache.
 * Updates the dtd directory.
 * Updates the glsa directory.
 * Updates `herds.xml` file.
 * Updates the news directory.

-## Notes ##
-
-Note that typically most repositories other than `gentoo` don't come with a pregenerated cache. It is a good idea to generate/update their cache every time they are synced. One way to do this, is by activating the `example` hook script that portage installs by default in `/etc/portage/postsync.d`:
-
-```
-cp -i /etc/portage/repo.postsync.d/example /etc/portage/repo.postsync.d/gen_cache
-chmod +x /etc/portage/repo.postsync.d/gen_cache
-```
