Hi.
I want to run my own private rsync mirror, and have followed a guide I found
on the forum for this. I just want to make sure of one thing: The
rsync-gentoo-portage.sh script should be set to sync with
rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage right? I don't want to be doing
anything I'm not
thanx I see the crontab entry and also in the docs was mentioned
to update every 30 min... is this really nececary/required or I can set it
every 3 days, which is ok for me ...
00,30 * * * * root/opt/gentoo-rsync/rsync-gentoo-portage.sh
Also can I set the SYNC variable into make.conf
You could just run FTP on your server, and update the distfiles on it (by
rsync or FTP) whenever necessary, and set all the other machines to use it as
a mirror (making it the first entry in the GENTOO_MIRRORS line in
make.conf).
Not really the answer you're looking for though.
Can't blame me
Is it possible in some way to just syncing /usr/portage/ directory except /distfiles..
I mean if I know which files are unique for every machine I can make them as :
rsync --exc=
and set one cron job on the main machine to watch gentoo-mirrors and then on all
others
just rsync with this
