Manage repositories

Currently adding a binary package repository can only be done by hand, an example binrepos.conf config looks like the following:

FILE /etc/portage/binrepos.conf/gentoobinhost.confUK Mirror Example, amd64

[binhost]
priority = 9999
sync-uri = https://mirror.bytemark.co.uk/gentoo/releases/amd64/binpackages/23.0/x86-64/

List repositories

Binary package repositories can be seen by running

root #emerge --info
