Long story short... emerging portage with USE="-rsync-verify" also requires setting
sync-rsync-verify-metamanifest = no in /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf to actually function. I assume that you have to set sync-rsync-verify-metamanifest = yes in /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf *IN ADDITION TO* emerging portage with USE="rsync-verify" to actually force verification. See https://bugs.gentoo.org/723966 for more than you wanted to know. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
