Description Einstok Fair 2021-05-16 11:19:46 UTC
«If make.conf is a directory, then all the files in that directory will be sorted in lexical order by file name and summed together as if it were a single file.» - https://devmanual.gentoo.org/eclass-reference/make.conf/index.html

# mirrorselect -s 1
* Using url: https://api.gentoo.org/mirrors/distfiles.xml
* Downloading a list of mirrors...
 Got 196 mirrors.
* Using netselect to choose the top 1 mirrors...Done.

* Modifying /etc/portage/make.conf with new mirrors...
	Writing new /etc/portage/make.conf

I need this to have several GENTOO_MIRRORS lines - one per overlay, like this:
GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.yandex.ru/gentoo-distfiles/"
GENTOO_MIRRORS="${GENTOO_MIRRORS} mirror://einflay"

Please give a list of files in your make.conf directory and which file contains the GENTOO_MIRRORS variable.
