An example of stuff you'd run into; my make.conf has the line... PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS="--exclude-from=/etc/portage/rsync_excludes" I've attached a script that I run whenever I add a directory to the exclusion list. It's specific to me, ie. program categories I don't use. It deletes the specified portage dirs, and updates the exclusion file. It really speeds up "emerge --sync" on my ancient Atom netbook with 2 gigabytes of ram. Will there still be an option to cycle through all existing top-level subdirectories of /usr/portage and check against the directory manifests? -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
