After some more Google searching... https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki//etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf (YES! There is a double-slash after "wiki") > The example below shows the default set up of the main Gentoo > repository.

As near as I can tell, portage processes every file in the repos.conf directory. It looks like I could simplify things by combining everything into one file, and eliminating the separate files. Is that correct? E.g. create file /etc/portage/repos.conf/repos.conf [DEFAULT] main-repo = gentoo [gentoo] priority = 20 location = /var/portage sync-type = rsync sync-uri = rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage auto-sync = yes sync-rsync-verify-metamanifest = no [localrepo] location = /usr/local/portage masters = gentoo auto-sync = no sync-rsync-verify-metamanifest = no [palemoon] priority = 50 location = /var/lib/layman/palemoon layman-type = git auto-sync = no sync-rsync-verify-metamanifest = no -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
