The portage news item makes a reference to the wiki article on the subject |
| 44 |
matter: |
| 45 |
eselect news read 21 | grep wiki |
| 46 |
Please see the wiki page url [1] for detailed instructions. |
| 47 |
examples see the wiki page listed below [1]. |

The 'Migration' section states that: |
| 51 |
If /etc/portage/repos.conf does not exist: |
| 52 |
root # mkdir /etc/portage/repos.conf |
| 53 |
root # cp /usr/share/portage/config/repos.conf |
| 54 |
/etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
Which is what I did on one of my systems, while on the other, |
| 57 |
'/etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf' seems to have come into being without |
| 58 |
any interference on my part, so to speak. |
