It's over, Gentoo is finished. https://bugs.gentoo.org

funtoo did the logical thing and moved to Git years ago

why is gentoo still using rsync?

>>57308333
gentoo has both

>>57308417
so why are they not using the sane default?

Use https only mirrors. Problem solved. If you don't want random MITM use encryption - who would have guessed?

gentoo comes with a lot of default configuration in the stage3 tarball, and not having sane defaults for its fucking package manager is awful. rsync is slower, not using any encryption by default, and you get a warning that if you sync more than once a day you could be banned. why would they stick with this?

>>57308522
stage3 does not specify any mirrors. the manual is still about rsync, which is indeed problematic

install funtoo

You do understand that git doesn't guarantee source or integrity as in "crypto integrity"?
Git does hashes to prevent random data errors, but the source could still be falsified.
