Ah, that makes more sense ;-) I *did* wonder why you hadn't thought to read the headers! from the GLEP: Users who really don't care about news items can use rsync_excludes to filter out the metadata/news/ directory. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/glep/glep-0042.html man 5 make.conf also documents FEATURES=news Oddly enough, we all know how to enable FEATURES (just add to the list), but I have no idea how to disable them! I don't have news in my FEATURES but I do get the newsitems. Is FEATURES=-news even valid sysntax? -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
