Hi, portage currently just calls git the first time it syncs. If you need to change the git remote URI afterwards you need to manually adjust it in $(portageq get_repo_path / gentoo )/.git/config. Instead the corresponding entry should be updated on every call of emerge --sync , maybe on other occasions I miss here aswell. Reproducible: Always
Bumping this because I ran into the same issue. The librewolf overlay changed hosts and I updated my repos.conf and moved on. I didn't realize this wouldn't also change the local repo so I went for 3 months without upgrading librewolf. Due to the implications of not keeping critical programs like web browsers up to date I think this issue has some security implications.
> Due to the implications of not keeping critical programs like web browsers up to date I think this issue has some security implications. I agree that for this reason this issue is of some importance, but by this logic any dependency resolution issue should be treated as a security bug because someone somewhere could concievably not update something. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 905869 ***
