Yep. early versions of portage only allowed "category/pack" style emerges, so it wasn't a conflict then, one word things was always a command. then it got simpler, and there became a conflict. Now "sync" is the preferred way, and rsync is being deprecated. one of theese days "emerge rsync" won't be an alias of "emerge sync" anymore, and things will work again. ---- my input ---- I'm kinda wondering when that day is going to occur. Emerge used to tell the user that the rsync action has been depracted but for some reason that code has been commented out. Any idea on that one?
