@ -2,17 +2,8 @@ This is not a full portage configuration. It contains only those parts that are
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
```
