/var/db/repos/gentoo

/var/db/repos/gentoo is the default path for the Gentoo ebuild repository, as configured in the location setting in the /usr/share/portage/config/repos.conf file.

If the default has been changed, current path can be shown by running the portageq utility:

user $portageq get_repo_path / gentoo
