The site here, http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=3 , shows this instruction:

Code Listing 6.3: Updating repos.conf

# Make sure sync-type and sync-uri are commented out
# sync-type = rsync
# sync-uri = ...


However, the lack of specificity makes that unclear to me because I can find two similarly named folders in my directory, both of which have the same lines mentioned above:

/etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf
/usr/share/portage/config/repos.conf

Although the first 'repos.conf' is actually a folder, not a file, it has the same name and contains a file with the same information referenced above. So, exactly which of these should be changed accordingly?

Proper developed applications take
- defaults from /usr/lib /usr/share
- but everything under /etc takes precedence

Well, since I am talking about "emerge-webrsync", it would hardly do to think it is not a "properly developed" application, would it?

Even so, sounds like changing both would be a safe call, then. Thanks for the clarification on that issue.

Keep in mind the rules of overwriting defaults from /etc might be different with different applications. I made my
/etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf
Code:
[DEFAULT]
main-repo = gentoo

[gentoo]
location = /common/portdir
sync-type = rsync
sync-uri = rsync://rsync1.de.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage
priority = 5
as above in hope the "[gentoo]" attribute will overwrite defaults regarding the "gentoo" repository ....
