No, I have a different situation. I many several identical machines. On the 'main' machine I have FEATURES="buildpkg" in /etc/make.conf Then, from time to time I synchronize the other machines. On these machines, SYNC="rsync://<my main machine>/gentoo-portage On the 'slaves' I do rm -f /usr/portage/metadata/timestamp* emerge --sync and I'd like this 'sync' to rsync /usr/portage/packages, as well, since lateron I do emerge --update --deep --usepkg world to avoid length compilation of packages on each machine. Currently I need /usr/bin/rsync -avz --delete --exclude-from=/etc/portage/rsync_excludes rsync://<main machine>/gentoo-portage/ . in addition to emerge -sync I just wonder if it's possible to tell emerge somewhere to not exclude the 'packages' subdirectory. thanks for all your comments, Helmut. -- Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 Aachen, Germany -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
