My understanding of it from running into where I had to use sync vs
rsync(new portage that unmaked when it shouldn't of at the time). Is
they are the same. Sync is the new command and rsync the old. Here is
what the man page says:
rsync See sync below.
sync Initiates a portage tree update with one of the rsync.gentoo.org
mirrors. Note that any changes you have made to the
portage
tree will be erased. Except for in special circumstances,
this
uses rsync to do the update. See make.conf's
description of
PORTDIR_OVERLAY for a method to avoid deletions.
When I'd got the newish portage one time it complained I'd used "rsync"
and told me it was an outdated command and I should use "sync" instead.
Then later that portage was masked. When it was re released it allowed
the rsync without complaint. So I think you can use either or.
