This might already be covered in one of the other e-mail threads, but I've been super-busy as of late and just recently ran 'emerge --sync' on my main dev box for the first time after the git migration. I just synced my main dev box again, ~10 hours after the last sync, but it looks like the 'Manifest' files for *every* package in the tree are getting downloaded with each sync.
I compared two Manifest files from a given package that shouldn't have changed in the last 10 hours (sys-kernel/mips-sources), and there is nothing different timestamp wise or content wise between then. So I'm not sure what's causing 'emerge --sync' to re-fetch the whole file. Has anyone else noticed this and/or have a workaround? It's causing some excessive disk thrashing, and what used to be a few seconds to sync is now taking 5-10mins or more (depending on which machine I'm syncing). -- Joshua Kinard Gentoo/MIPS ku...@gentoo.org 6144R/F5C6C943 2015-04-27 177C 1972 1FB8 F254 BAD0 3E72 5C63 F4E3 F5C6 C943 "The past tempts us, the present confuses us, the future frightens us.
