I have an ancient Atom netbook. I use distcc to do builds for it, but "emerge --sync" is done locally. It's painfull. Anything to reduce the amount of unneeded stuff would help. I want to confirm that I have the syntax right. In /etc/portage.make.conf I put...
PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS="--exclude-from=/etc/portage/rsync_excludes" ...and in /etc/portage/rsync_excludes I put stuff like... app-leechcraft/ app-pda/ app-xemacs/ dev-dotnet/ dev-embedded/ dev-java/ dev-ruby/ mate-extra/ www-apache/ www-servers/ xfce-base/ xfce-extra/ metadata/md5-cache/app-leechcraft/ metadata/md5-cache/app-pda/ metadata/md5-cache/app-xemacs/ metadata/md5-cache/dev-dotnet/ metadata/md5-cache/dev-embedded/ metadata/md5-cache/dev-java/ metadata/md5-cache/dev-ruby/ metadata/md5-cache/mate-extra/ metadata/md5-cache/www-apache/ metadata/md5-cache/www-servers/ metadata/md5-cache/xfce-base/ metadata/md5-cache/xfce-extra/ Is this correct? -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
