Here it is what I did for the record. On my local rsync server I set PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS in /etc/make.conf as in /etc/make.globals but removed --filter=... Then, still on my local rsync server I did an emerge --sync so the digest files are pulled in. I also did an update of system and world. BTW here are two warnings obtained (ignored for now) --- Invalid atom in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask: =media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9-p20070325 !!! A file listed in the Manifest could not be found: /usr/portage/net-fs/nfs-utils/files/nfs.confd.old !!! Fetch for /usr/portage/net-fs/nfs-utils/nfs-utils-1.0.12.ebuild failed, continuing... Now on my other boxes I proceeded with an emerge --sync to sync the portage tree with the local rsync server. A new portage version was available, then I issued an emerge portage. At the end of the emerge, the cache was updated on its own. Nevertheless I did do emerge --metadata. Is this the right time to do this? Should the information you sent be included in the rsync documentation? In the handbook http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=3&chap=2 the section on "PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS sets a number of default variables used during sync, each space-separated. These shouldn't be changed unless you know exactly what you're doing. Note that certain absolutely required options will always be used even if PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS is empty" does not welcome users to explore rsync. Thanks for your help. -- Valmor -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
