I see this /var/gentoo/repos path used as an example in a few places
but not actually in any code. I think our example should match the
default structure these days, e.g., /var/db/repos/<repo-name>.

I would rather we use pathlib and not add new uses of normpath.

Same thing: I'd rather use pathlib and use Path.mkdir and not add new
uses of ensure_dirs.

Let's rename myf. The 'my' prefix pattern in catalyst is not a good
one. Even just 'f' or 'file' would be better, IMO.

Feel free to rename things, like this function if their name no longer
matches the current terminology.

Let's not use a real path here. It only stands to confuse the reader.

I'd prefer to use f-strings unless there's a good reason not to.
