Is syncing not yet sorted out? A fortnight later I'm still getting something like 24000 manifests synced every day, and about a week ago I got all the change-logs too. When I tried syncing again just now I got all the manifests once more, and all the metadata.xml files too - 45,399 files in all. I hope this isn't the new steady state. $ grep sync /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf sync-type = rsync auto-sync = yes sync-uri = rsync://rsync.uk.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage -- Rgds Peter
