+<p> |
| 51 |
+As an administrator, you can opt to only update your local Portage tree with a |
| 52 |
+cryptographically validated Portage tree snapshot as released by the Gentoo |
| 53 |
+infrastructure. This ensures that no rogue rsync mirror is adding unwanted code |
| 54 |
+or packages in the tree you are downloading. |
| 55 |
+</p> |
| 56 |
+ |
| 57 |
+<p> |
| 58 |
+To configure Portage, first create a truststore in which you download and accept |
| 59 |
+the keys of the Gentoo Infrastructure responsible for signing the Portage tree |
| 60 |
+snapshots. Of course, if you want to, you can validate this GPG key as per the |
| 61 |
+<uri link="/doc/en/gnupg-user.xml#doc_chap2_sect4">proper guidelines</uri>. |
| 62 |
+</p> |
| 63 |
+ |
| 64 |
+<pre caption="Creating a truststore for Portage"> |
| 65 |
+# <i>mkdir -p /etc/portage/gpg</i> |
| 66 |
+# <i>gpg --homedir /etc/portage/gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 0x239C75C4</i> |
| 67 |
+# <i>gpg --homedir /etc/portage/gpg --edit-key 0x239C75C4 trust</i> |
| 68 |
+</pre> |
| 69 |
+ |
| 70 |
+<p> |
| 71 |
+Next, edit <path>/etc/make.conf</path> and enable support for validating the |
| 72 |
+signed Portage tree snapshots (using <c>FEATURES="webrsync-gpg"</c>) and |
| 73 |
+disabling updating the Portage tree using the regular <c>emerge --sync</c> |
| 74 |
+method. |

| 85 |
