Yamakuzure,
I've been using the url mentioned above for 2 two on 2 PCs, and everything is alright.
I just wanna know if it is right url or not.

sync-uri = git://git.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git
also works for me.

What is the recommended /etc/eixrc/eixrc setting for git?
CACHE_METHOD="/portage/ parse|ebuild*#metadata-md5#metadata-assign#assign" ?

amazing!
very thanks

edit:
I'm also getting that error described above after syncing once. I don't know how to use git so idk but it must be some parameter that's preventing it to sync to a non empty directory...?

edit2:
from their man page

Thanks for that.

How will we switch over from webrsync-gpg? I'm already using a few git overlays with properly signed commits, so even if the main tree isn't ready for that I could still benefit from knowing how to secure those.

genoobish,

To migrate from a rsync'ed repository to git, just remove it before the sync :

if I recall correctly, when I originally setup my system to pull from git, I had to remove the old rsync repository (delete everything out of /usr/portage) and while in the /usr/portage, I did git-clone to establish a copy of the git version of the tree; afterwards, it works fine doing regular syncing.

Note: When I set my system up to sync via git, it was before gentoo did this transition, so I was syncing through their testing tree. That in mind, what I needed to do may not be necessary. I also remember, I did need to make a .gitignore file in /usr/portage, to have it exclude the distfiles folder.

I'm cross-posting this here, because it is relevant to the git migration for users: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-7797610.html#7797610

One more step to the identity with Funtoo. I don't need the precompiled kernels and the 'super bootloader' of Funtoo. The network configuration way of Funtoo is interesting, but I can compose as well with the Gentoo way.
