That got me thinking about portage rsync'ing in general. Is it/would it be possible to rsync a subset of the portage tree based on keywords? IE, only rsync things to my local gentoo server if they're keyworded "~x86" or "x86" or "sparc", for example. That would be a cool feature if there were a clean way to implement it. Reduce syncing time and bandwidth usage on rsync mirrors. > I'm absolutely not sure about what the right attitude towards this > should be.

Of course, I also want my powerbook to project holograms and absorb laser blasts, so take that for what it's worth. ~ Nathan -- [email protected] mailing list
