Now it's time to install the Portage repository, which contains package scripts (ebuilds) that tell portage how to build and install thousands of different software packages. To create the Portage repository, simply run ego sync from within the chroot. This will automatically clone the portage tree from GitHub and all kits:

(chroot) # ego sync

Making custom profile

Funtoo uses `epro` which states for TODO and is used to make a profile from which portage takes it's core variables to compile packages.

epro parses it's configuration in /etc/portage/make.profile/parent which is then recognized by funtoo's portage.

start by invoking `mv /etc/portage/make.profile/parent /etc/portage/make.profile/parent.old && touch /etc/portage/make.profile/parent` to wipe source file.

Next invoke `epro list` to output all supported configuration for each variable.

Variables - arch - System architecture - build - system build - subarch - System subarch, used for CPU optimization for GCC compile - flavor - system design configuration - mix-ins - additional configuration

Relevant: https://www.funtoo.org/Install/Profiles

TODO: updated based on relevant.

Reasoning: Making profile prior to emerging system allows for supperior configuration and faster installation.

Troubleshooting

Unvailable repository

This error is caused by using Gentoo's variables that are not supported by `ego`. (?)
