Translations:Ebuild repository/105/en

Because an ebuild repository is simply a structure of files and directories, a new ebuild repository can be made available to Portage simply by copying those files and directories to a location known to Portage. The ebuild repositories and their files are usually under /var/db/repos/, but the location of repositories configured for Portage is specified in /etc/portage/repos.conf. Ebuild repositories can be configured on any accessible filesystem however, even on an nfs or SSHFS filesystem - allowing them to be stored on a network or Internet server.
