some packages I'm interested in were updated. I think - OK, let's start
eix-sync! But - nothing new there... I try an hour later...

I see, there is some time lag somewhere. Is there a way to see really
available portage updates?
Portage got updated but the mirror you're using is not synced yet.

And what's the "gentoo-netiquette" in the subject about?

About syncing portage more than once a day...

Hmm. Most mirrors I sync against don't have such policy, and some even explicitly state in their MOTD that there's no limit to how often you can sync. I'm using rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage.

I guess they all have flatrate bandwidth or bandwidth is cheap in Europe :P
