"emerge --sync" now just calls the emaint sync module with the --auto option. This --auto option performs a sync on only those repositories with the auto-sync setting set to 'yes' or 'true'. If it is absent, then emerge --sync may not sync anything. Note: If you have default portage settings for location, sync-type then it should use the backup defaults and sync the gentoo repo still. I'll add the bit for layman overlays, but with the changes suggested here and irc it is at 100 lines now. I'll keep it short. P.S. caught me just in time, I was about to send the updated version. -- Brian Dolbec <dolsen>
