[gentoo-user] how I violate gentoo-netiquette

2009-04-29 Thread Andrew Gaydenko
Say, I see here

http://packages.gentoo.org/feed/arch/amd64

some packages I'm interested in were updated. I think - OK, let's start
eix-sync! But - nothing new there... I try an hour later...

I see, there is some time lag somewhere. Is there a way to see really 
available portage updates?

Lets say you are interested in the eix package, do it that way:

cd /tmp
cvs -d :pserver:anonym...@anoncvs.gentoo.org:/var/cvsroot co 
gentoo-x86/app-portage/eix
cp -rvf gentoo-x86/app-portage/eix /usr/portage/app-portage/eix
cd /usr/portage/app-portage
repoman -fix
emerge eix
