Nothing, at least not in this respect ;-) The verification doesn't cause a problem with a local mirror, it is just unnecessary. The computer hosting the mirror verifies each sync, doing so again is a waste of time. If someone were to gain root access to the mirror host, a corrupted portage tree would be the least of my worries :-O -- Neil Bothwick I stayed up all night playing poker with tarot cards.
