[gentoo-user] Remove default 'gentoo' repo in repos.conf

[gentoo-user] Remove default 'gentoo' repo in repos.conf

Hello everyone,

I am attempting to remove the default 'gentoo' repository definition from
my list of repositories. Even though I am using a custom repos.conf in
/etc/portage, I see that portage is including the default 'gentoo' entry
from /usr/share/portage/config/repos.conf. Is there any way I can indicate
in /etc/portage/repos.conf to remove the 'gentoo' repository? Thanks.

For a temporary solution, make /usr/portage as empty as possible; for a
more permanent solution, I'd suggest to look at how Gentoo forks do
this. Though I think that most of the forks still use the Portage tree;
so, it might be hard to find what you are looking for.

You can also put /usr/share/portage/config/repos.conf in CONFIG_PROTECT
and adjust it there; put a symlink in /etc for convenience, such that
you won't forget about it when scanning through /etc config files.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'd rather not modify
/usr/share/portage/config/repos.conf if I can help it and /usr/portage is
completely empty in my installation. I've been toying around with adding a
'deleted' attribute to the repository section. I'll start a discussion in
the portage dev channel.
