Hi guys’n’gals |

Before the introduction of repos.conf, we used several variables in |
| 4 |
make.conf to tell portage where to find stuff, such as GENTOO_MIRRORS and |
| 5 |
SYNC. My make.conf used to first define sensible defaults for those and then |
| 6 |
has the line: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
source homenet.conf |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
This file modifies those portage settings to reroute operations to within my |
| 11 |
own network. Oftentimes either my PC or laptop is (far) ahead of the other |
| 12 |
(tree sync, distfiles download). So to make them serve each other, which |
| 13 |
reduces load on public servers and vastly speeds up distfiles download, this |
| 14 |
homenet.conf file |
| 15 |
- prepends a gentoo mirror |
| 16 |
- sets the portage rsync server |
| 17 |
- enables distcc on the laptop |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
So with a single (un)commenting of the source command, I could switch |
| 20 |
between “normal” mode and “homenet” mode. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Since repos.conf came about, this doesn’t work anymore (the sync part, |
| 23 |
anyway, for now). So nowadays, when I want to switch mode, I need to change |
| 24 |
the source line and also need to change the sync-uri in repos.conf’s default |
| 25 |
repository. That’s too much work. :-D |
| 26 |
|

How would you advise to achieve what I’m after? |
| 28 |
Thanks-a-doodle and good night. |
