Pretty sure this is because of not using 17.1 profile on the failing machine. The first machine is on a 17.1 profile, and migration was relatively simple, and worked. I did it based on this post: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-8373904.html?sid=5c30f451df89c01a6bbe0a8dadd77c36#8373904 On the second machine, I did not change to profile 17.1. After moving the files around, no matter what I tried, Portage refused to check the new DISTDIR. I haven't had time to switch this machine to 17.1 yet.

The portage ebuild has some code that automatically patches /usr/share/portage/config/make.globals for existing installs. You can update the setting there. Alternatively, you can perform the following steps to make the portage ebuild update make.globals for you. 1. Set DISTDIR to anything other than /usr/portage/distfiles in /etc/portage/make.conf 2. Re-install sys-apps/portage. 3. Remove the DISTDIR setting from /etc/portage/make.conf. >From then on, portage will no longer patch the default DISTDIR setting in make.globals.

[gentoo-user] /usr/portage/distfiles vs /var/cache/distfiles
I recently installed a new server, and noticed that it is using /var/cache/distfiles rather than /usr/portage/distfiles. looking at the documentation, it seems that is the new default, and it says "new installations" will use it. I have older servers which are still using /usr/portage/distfiles. None of them have DISTDIR configured, so I am curious how portage is deciding between "old" and new"? If I wanted to migrate my older boxes to the new location without explicitly setting DISTDIR on them, what do I need to change? Thanks…

In order to receive an email of the bounced message you can send an empty message to the mailing list server, with the number of the message which was bounced in the address, e.g. to receive a copy of the above message number "189231", send this to the list: gentoo-user+get-189...@lists.gentoo.org HOWEVER ... your mailserver may still bounce the resent message. I just tried to retrieve it manually, only for it to be bounced again silently by Gmail.

Hmm ... not sure if this is possible, or I don't know how to receive bounced messages via http. The way I do it is by following a process of elimination.

It was titled "mesos updated ebuild advice?". Your messages are being delivered to this M/L and Gmail distributes them without bouncing as far as I can surmise: https://marc.info/?l=gentoo-user=157895127422780 The messages which seem to be bounced by Gmail are sent by Mr. Alan Grimes. The most recent bounced message was yesterday, titled "WTF is up with mysqld?" > I've read this and still do not know what *I* need to do to fix this, or > implement a workaround.

Fw: Re: [gentoo-user] .tmp-unverified-download-quarantine
I guess you're referring to this: "The use of emerge-webrsync is recommended for those who are behind restrictive firewalls (because it uses HTTP/FTP protocols for downloading the snapshot) and saves network bandwidth. Readers who have no network or bandwidth restrictions can happily skip down to the next section." Indeed that was a sub-theme of my question (although I oversaw that "emerge-" was indeed part of the command): could that have an impact on my problem? I'm not behind a firewall and have no bandwidth restrictions (DSL). It's a bad state when you start having to do things which are nominally not relevant, because you don't have anything else to lose (but time).

I use thunderbird-(Installed versions: 68.4.1). So some explicit pathways to a solution/workaround would be appreciated. I also have a "free" limited/restricted email address:: 'dtf...@protonmail.com' not sure if using this address would fix things. The nice thing about 'thunderbird' is I have a vast amount of saved emails, and it has worked flawlessly, until these bounced messages started this year. I've read through that aforementioned thread, but, being old and slow, I did not see a fix for me. Perhaps gentoo runs a mail server, if I setup with proxy-maintainer? I was trying to post a new about MESOS 'A distributed systems kernel'. Back in 2015 I have a working EAPI-5 gentoo ebuild, which I have locally. Upgraded to Mesos-1.9.0 via EAPI 7(or ?) was the guidance I was looking for. So can I get a gentoo-rookie-proxy mail server access? I'm quite certain *MY* issues are due to how Verizon administers the mail services. Often, when I fire up Thunderbird, it pucks for a few hours, then starts working with repetitive sends and pulls. I guess it finally reverts back to something that works for Thunderbird. I've been using thunderbird for a very, very long time and have little desire to stop using thunderbird, as my main email system. Now setting up an easy-to-admin mail system(s) that is thunderbird friendly; I'm all ears. I may be getting a single static IP, to facilitate just that, from Verizon or ?. Any help via this list or direct is most appreciated. James

I'll redirect the output into a file next time. What would I look for in the top(1) status lines (the lines at the top before the process table?)? With emerge-webrsync do you mean webrsync or is there some additional facility?

Er...you aren't running out of disk space, are you (either physical space or inodes)? Don't forget /tmp and /var/tmp. And what result did 'emerge --sync' return? Specifically, did you see a 'Sync completed' message? Have you watched /usr/bin/top status lines while syncing? And have you actually tried emerge-webrsync? -- Regards, Peter.

If the repository was broken, it would be affecting a lot more people than just you. Have you tried completely removing your portage tree and reinstating it with webrsync? This is a fresh install from a minimal cd image. I'm starting out with mkfs. I've tried that 3 times, twice using a stage 3 from 2020/01/08 and once using a stage 3 from 2020/01/12. Thus, in answer to your question, yes, I've always removed the portage tree (and everything else). I've always used emerge --sync rather than webrsync because I always like to use the smallest hammer possible. But if you say I should use webrsync rather than emerge --sync, I have no other hint. Is this the proper list to be on? It's the Gentoo User list, which seems to fit.

The owner of my portage directory and all files therein is root:root. Should the ownership be portage:portage? What is the default? As it happens, I switched a machine from rsync to git syncing last night, so started with a new tree. Everything is root:root. That implies that portage does not drop permissions for the sync, otherwise it wouldn't be able to write to the tree. And ps confirms that with an rsync sync, rsync is running as root. Thanks Neil, this this leaves me mildly confused as to what the gentoo-default ownership of portage tree is/should be. Until I hear differently I'll leave my old installations as portage:portage and the latest as root:root. It sounds to me like the repository is broken - having ownership as root seems to be slightly more entropy than portage and could have happened as a unintended consequence of some uncarefully completed operation. Is this the proper list to be on?

A newer fs snapshot won't include the tree itself, but it will include the new default fs locations for the portage directory. Not sure what you mean ... you mean that the portage tree only comes in with the emerge --sync? A preliminary copy isn't in the stage3 tarball? That's correct. is this happening because I'm not using (the "optional") webrsync? It happens because the stage 3 doesn't contain a tree. The handbook tells you to run a sync after unpacking the stage 3 for that reason. webrsync is just another way of syncing, one that is more efficient than rsync when starting with an empty tree. I mean, am I getting these manifest/verification errors because I haven't used webrsync (apparently not). Which leaves me in a deadlocked situation. A fresh install, according to the instructions, on new hardware, fails. What should I do? Does anyone else have this problem?
