How do I check to ensure that this internal server actually was successful at downloading the rsync files and the appropriate distfiles for the other sytems? I followed part 4 of this document: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/rsync.xml?style=printable and these 3 documents: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Local_Rsync_Mirror. http://gentoo-wiki.com/Http_proxy http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Download_Cache_for_LAN-Http-Replicator PROBLEM? I manually ran 'emerge -uDp world' today on both a client and the sever. The client updated a few files, the server returned nothing to update. I kept another p4 system using rsync and downloading the distfiles separate. emerge -uDp world shows this file (among others) on the P4 system using the old external update method: [ebuild NS ] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r5 The new internal-AMD rsync/distfile server, issueing 'emerge -s gentoo-sources' shows: sys-kernel/gentoo-sources Latest version available: 2.6.12-r4 Latest version installed: 2.6.12-r4 Is this evidence that the nightly updates, are not working on the internal server? Is there a simple test to determine if the updates are working on the rsync and distfiles? Did I miss something? Ideas? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
