You can probably use RSYNC_EXCLUDEFROM (which you can define in /etc/make.conf). This is the relevant section from /etc/make.conf.example: # RSYNC_EXCLUDEFROM is a file that portage will pass to rsync when it # updates # the portage tree. Specific chunks of the tree may be excluded from # consideration. This may cause dependency failures if you are not # careful. # The file format is one pattern per line, blanks and ';' or '#' # lines are # comments. See 'man rsync' for more details on the exclude-from # format. -- Regards, Patrick Börjesson PGP signature: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21792A5D PGP fingerprint: 74AF D4EF 6BDE CF77 16BE 6A29 CDB8 7607 2179 2A5D
