Thank you. Jerry McBride Is there an easy way to find out what new packages have been added after a sync?

Worked for me :-) I've got a question regarding this switch: Can sys-fs/devfsd be unmerged or is it still somehow needed? Sigi You don't need it.
Re: [gentoo-user] Using rsync to update a remote directory via ssh.
On 5/5/05, Charles Pittman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The following is a question I intended to post earlier, but decided to lookup my own answer (and happened to find it in the manpage): I have ssh access to my webhost. I am looking for an easy way to keep ~/public_html updated on the remote site using ssh. I was using scp to transfer files, but I knew that there had to be an easier way. I searched the internet for a solution and didn't find a direct one, when I thought of rsync (1-way update). Anywho, I checked the rsync manpage and there was an interesting flag: -e This particular flag allows you to pick the remote shell you wish to use (such as ssh). I created an alias using my new command and now it's easy to update my site. For those interested, here is the command: rsync -v -c -r -u -P -essh -luser --delete-excluded --stats /local/dir/ remote_address:/remote/dir/ See man rsync(1) for information about the flags used. Hopefully this helps someone out there. By default, rsync uses ssh.
