That's one way of doing it, but I believe it will be slower in the long
run. You have to load the page, read it, and decide is anything of
interest is new. If so, you then have to emerge --sync anyway, so why
not just do it

Yes, maybe http://packages.gentoo.org/archs/x86/stable/ is what I want.
Anyway, I still think the way gentoo uses for its package's database
update is different with other distro, and seems a bit slower than
others, err, I only used archlinux before.
And..., what I have said above will cause a

hello,
I heard of that using emerge --sync frequently may hert my hard-disk,
so I don't have a try --sync quite often(maybe once a month), but how can I
know whether I really
need a sync and upgrade my system if a new kernel or glibc is realised? Is
there a simple and quick method?

Well, when I started with Gentoo Linux almost a year ago, I emerged
--sync more than twice per week. I never experimented any damage or
error. However, I do not advise people to do it so frequently just
because they will not find updated versions of their favorite packages
as often as I thought

This sounds like juju. Did your source provide numbers in support of
this conclusion, or is it just concern about hard drive thrashing?

My network server has been doing a daily emerge --sync for 4 years
now. Hasn't died yet. FWIW, simply running Windows puts far more strain
on the HD than doing a daily sync in Gentoo ever will.
