README.md |
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
- updates metadata-cache (the first update might take long, all subsequent ones not)
- updates the dtd directory
- updates the glsa directory
- updates herds.xml
- 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
