[gentoo-user] /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf is missing

Are we meant to create the above file manually?

This box is running sys-apps/portage-2.2.18 but I was surprised to see that it 
doesn't have a gentoo.conf file.

I use the latest, excluding 9999 version, of portage and I have it
here.  I didn't create it so I assume it was installed during a
upgrade.  This is the contents of the file if you need it.


[DEFAULT]
main-repo = gentoo

[gentoo]
location = /var/cache/portage/tree
sync-type = rsync
sync-uri = rsync://rsync.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage


Hope that helps.

Thanks Dale, I just upgraded two boxen to sys-apps/portage-2.2.18 and both are 
complaining thus:
====================================
!!! SYNC setting found in make.conf.
    This setting is Deprecated and no longer used.  Please ensure your 'sync-
type' and 'sync-uri' are set correctly in /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf
====================================

I recall reading "New portage plug-in sync system" in eselect news, but it 
doesn't mention creating such files manually:

"Migration:
    Edit /etc/portage/repos.conf/*.conf files, add the auto-sync option
    to each repository definition."

The setting referred to in the message above is the SYNC variable defined
in /etc/portage/make.conf.

With the sync url now defined in /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf, you
either want to comment out the line in /etc/portage/make.conf where SYNC is
defined, or get rid of it all together. For the time being, I chose the
former.

grep uri /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf
sync-uri = rsync://rsync.uk.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage
% grep SYNC /etc/portage/make.conf
#SYNC="rsync://rsync.uk.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage"

Thanks Alexander, I will be adding the sync-uri line in 
/etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf once I know for sure if I should be 
creating this file myself, or if portage ought to have created and for some 
reason hasn't.

On another box of mine the file exists, but I can't recall if I created it 
myself or portage did it for me.  :-/

The portage news item makes a reference to the wiki article on the subject
matter:
eselect news read 21 | grep wiki
        Please see the wiki page url [1] for detailed instructions.
examples see the wiki page listed below [1].
[1] https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Portage/Sync

The 'Migration' section states that:
If /etc/portage/repos.conf does not exist:
root # mkdir /etc/portage/repos.conf
root # cp /usr/share/portage/config/repos.conf
/etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf

Which is what I did on one of my systems, while on the other,
'/etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf' seems to have come into being without
any interference on my part, so to speak.

Ahh!  Well spotted.  Thank you Alexander.  The mystery as to why some systems 
were converted and others require manual intervention remains ...

No worries. There is bound to be some one on this list who will shed light

I made the transition manually the other day.  I guess I might as well
toss into this thread a couple of minor roadbumps I hit.

The filename gentoo doesn't matter to portage AFAICT, but it
does matter to other tools, e.g. mirrorselect, so use gentoo.conf.

<https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Layman#Using_.27repos.conf.27_method_.28default_method_for_app-portage.2Flayman-2.1.0_or_later_.29>
says `layman-updater -R` will update repos.conf/layman.conf as long as
you have >=layman-2.1.0, but with layman-2.1.0-r3, I couldn't get it to
work.  I moved to layman-2.3.0 and it created the file fine.

I did read the news item, but my surprise is that on some systems of mine the 
file was created on its own (it seems) and on others it wasn't.  My memory is 
not what it used to be, so I couldn't be certain that where present I hadn't 
created the file myself and then duly forgot about it.  So, I thought of 
asking here.
