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 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
