Description m1027 2020-12-09 13:26:56 UTC

I am lacking eselect news.

eselect news list outputs nothing. Only some removed old news. So, some time
ago it worked.

Probably because there is no news/ directory in my git based repo below
/var/db/repos/gentoo/metadata/ (anymore?).

FYI: I have sync-uri = https://anongit.gentoo.org/git/repo/gentoo.git in
/etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf.

I've found a separate git repo https://gitweb.gentoo.org/data/gentoo-news.git
but no hint whether or how that's to be included.

This must be something trivial...

You are using the wrong repo, you want repo/sync/gentoo.git which has all metadata added in
