[gentoo-user] difference between GENTOO_MIRRROS and SYNC

2005-04-16 Thread Al Bayrouni
Hello,
I just installed gentoo 3 days ago.
I don't understand the difference between GENTOO_MIRRORS and SYNC when 
using emerge --sync.

Thank you for your help.

welcome,
GENTOO_MIRRORS is used when downloading source packages *not* with
emerge --sync
Some servers host both rsync (used for syncing) and http/ftp (to
download packages) but the things can be totally divided.
