|
|
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

!!! Allowed actions are limited to --help, --info, --search, --sync, and

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 ?
