 |
|
I am currently installing gentoo on a new laptop, following the installation handbook.
I used stage3-i686-openrc-20240205T200142Z.tar.xz.
After chrooting, i did
| Code: |
mkdir /efi
mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /efi
mkdir --parents /etc/portage/repos.conf
cp /usr/share/portage/config/repos.conf /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf
|
When i now wanted to do the first emerge command, i got am error message | Code: | ~ # emerge --ask --verbose --oneshot app-portage/mirrorselect
!!! Section 'gentoo' in repos.conf has location attribute set to nonexistent directory: '/var/db/repos/gentoo'
!!! Invalid Repository Location (not a dir): '/var/db/repos/gentoo'
!!! /etc/portage/make.profile is not a symlink and will probably prevent most merges.
!!! It should point into a profile within /var/db/repos/gentoo/profiles/
!!! (You can safely ignore this message when syncing. It's harmless.)
!!! Your current profile is invalid. If you have just changed your profile
!!! configuration, you should revert back to the previous configuration.
!!! Allowed actions are limited to --help, --info, --search, --sync, and
!!! --version.

Indeed, /var/db/repos is empty, in particular there is no subdirectory gentoo there.
How i can i get the gentoo subtree into /var/db/repos ?
