or better, install esearch. It is as fast as eix, and it comes with esync.
So instead of emerge sync AND update-eix, you just run esync.
Sory, I fail to see the advantage.
eix comes with eix-sync, which will do a emerge --sync and update-eix.
Has the additional advantage, that it lists all new and updates packages, when
the sync is finished.
You don't know eix, do you? Because, what you list here as an "advantage"
is no advantage, as eix does the same.
