Description Martin Mokrejš 2016-06-21 15:13:30 UTC 
Hi,
  I find the documentation at https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki//etc/portage/repos.conf unclear. It is not clear whether the below is correct or not.

[DEFAULT]
main-repo = gentoo_prefix

[gentoo]
location = /scratch/mmokrejs/gentoo/usr/portage
sync-type = websync
sync-uri = websync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage
auto-sync = yes



Further, how can I find a list of the hosts offering the service, e.g. which URL can I use for websync? The page should also mention of is the difference between websync and webrsync.

OK, this page somewhat "explains the difference":

So where is websync/webrsync in https://www.gentoo.org/downloads/mirrors/ listing?

This is the description of the 'Wiki' component that you likely missed: "Technical issues regarding wiki.gentoo.org. Important: Article suggestions do NOT belong here. Use the respective Discussion page for the article."
