repos.conf updates
idk i think the talk page should be the place for some of the discussion on the main page going on there....

starting to look at the updated syntax.

shows syntax

[DEFAULT] main-repo = gentoo

[gentoo] location = /usr/portage sync-type = rsync sync-uri = rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage

end rant

First Paragraph Correction
"The default configuration of repositories for Portage comes from the Portage package itself at /usr/share/portage/config/repos.conf. However settings in /etc/portage/repos.conf override values set /usr/share/portage/config/repos.conf."

Should read: "The default configuration of repositories for Portage comes from the Portage package itself at /usr/share/portage/config/repos.conf. However settings in /etc/portage/repos.conf FALLS BACK TO values set WITHIN /usr/share/portage/config/repos.conf." --Roger (talk) 16:34, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

Question about the SYNC variable
Will still default to using the old  SYNC variable which has been deprecated. Or has this been fixed with ? If so (fixed), that sentence should be removed.
