Companion repositories

This distribution requires more than one archive — list each one below in your client configuration.

Name	URL
`gentoo-binhost-proxy`	`https://mirror.kargadan.ir/repository/gentoo-binhost-proxy/`

rsync-based portage tree updates cannot use the HTTP raw proxy. Use the daily snapshot tarball (gentoo-distfiles-proxy/snapshots/gentoo-latest.tar.xz) or run binhost-only with FEATURES="getbinpkg".

Quick verification

Run this from any machine that can reach the mirror. It should complete in under a second once metadata is cached.

# Quick smoke test (latest portage snapshot is ~120 MiB)
curl -fsSL -I https://mirror.kargadan.ir/repository/gentoo-distfiles-proxy/snapshots/gentoo-latest.tar.xz

Default client configuration

Drop this file at /etc/portage/binrepos.conf/gentoo.conf on the target host for the recommended default release (current). See configuration by release for every supported suite.

# /etc/portage/binrepos.conf/gentoo.conf  (Gentoo binhost via Nexus)
# Used together with FEATURES="getbinpkg binpkg-request-signature"

[binhost]
priority = 9999
sync-uri = https://mirror.kargadan.ir/repository/gentoo-binhost-proxy/

# /etc/portage/make.conf override for distfiles (sources mirror)
# GENTOO_MIRRORS="https://mirror.kargadan.ir/repository/gentoo-distfiles-proxy/"

# Snapshots (portage tree tarball) are also available at:
# https://mirror.kargadan.ir/repository/gentoo-distfiles-proxy/snapshots/gentoo-latest.tar.xz
#
# Limitation: rsync-style portage tree updates cannot use the HTTP raw proxy.
# Use the snapshot tarball (preferred for binhosts) or layer Nexus over an
# rsync->HTTP gateway like rsync-mirror-tools.

Configuration by release

Each block below is a complete, copy-ready configuration for one suite or release. Install path: /etc/portage/binrepos.conf/gentoo.conf. The same patterns are committed under /opt/client-configs/gentoo/repos.conf on the mirror host (default release only).

Gentoo (distfiles + binhost) default

HTTP proxy covers distfiles and binhost only. For the portage tree use the daily snapshot tarball or rsync upstream.

Quick verification
