Doing a fresh install and /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf is missing. This means that someone following the handbook (as per Wiki https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/Base) will perform... mirrorselect -i -r -o >> /mnt/gentoo/etc/portage/make.conf ...but portage then reports... !!! SYNC setting found in make.conf. This setting is Deprecated and no longer used. Please ensure your 'sync-type' and 'sync-uri' are set correctly in /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Perform a fresh install as per AMD64 Handbook 2. After (optionally) setting an rsync mirror try emerging any package Actual Results: !!! SYNC setting found in make.conf. This setting is Deprecated and no longer used. Please ensure your 'sync-type' and 'sync-uri' are set correctly in /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf Expected Results: Sync server should be specified in /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf Documentation/handbook should reflect this too. Current solution is (in a chroot'd environment)... mkdir /etc/portage/repos.conf && touch /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf Then edit /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf with a minimum... [DEFAULT] main-repo = gentoo [gentoo] location = /usr/portage sync-type = rsync sync-uri = rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage ...users could be advised to modify 'sync-uri' to a local mirror.

Created attachment 418818 [details, diff] catalyst-repos.conf.patch I attach untested patch for master branch of Catalyst.
Created attachment 420854 [details, diff] patch review I've gotten this one reviewed. Mostly good, just a couple things to fix. Thank you

This bug should be closed. For wrong behavior of mirrorselect --rsync there is bug 699232. Also, the recommendation for changing the rsync mirror could be changed to using "eselect repository" instead of "mirrorselect --rsync": touch /etc/portage/repos.conf eselect repository add gentoo rsync <rsync-uri>
Problem is still present in newest stages (e.g. stage3-amd64-20191103T214502Z.tar.xz): etc/portage/make.conf contains deprecated PORTDIR=... assignment. etc/portage/repos.conf is missing.

If you wouldn't mind rebasing this on 5 years of development, I'll see that it gets tested and committed.
Created attachment 657204 [details, diff] catalyst-repos.conf.patch
Created attachment 657206 [details, diff] catalyst-repos.conf.patch (First patch was using `rm -fr`. Second patch was using clear_dir(), but clear_dir() on non-existent target would print warning, so third patch calls ensure_dirs() before clear_dir(). clear_dir(remove=False) internally also calls ensure_dirs().)
