As it happens, I switched a machine from rsync to git syncing last night, so started with a new tree. Everything is root:root. That implies that portage does not drop permissions for the sync, otherwise it wouldn't be able to write to the tree. And ps confirms that with an rsync sync, rsync is running as root. -- Neil Bothwick Cross a tagline and a tribble? You get a full HD...
