It's described in the Howto: [gentoo-packages] path = /usr/portage/distfiles comment = Gentoo Linux Portage packages (distfiles) If you are using "rsync-gentoo-portage.sh" to sync you'll have to point it to #DST="/opt/gentoo-rsync/portage/" DST="/usr/portage/" Also add "--exclude distfiles" to "OPTS" in the script or you will lose all your packages. "rsyncd.conf" should contain dont compress = *.ace \ *.arj \ *.bz \ *.bz2 \ *.cab \ *.deb \ *.gz \ *.iso \ *.jar \ *.lha \ *.lzh \ *.rar \ *.rpm \ *.sqx \ *.taz \ *.tbz \ *.tgz \ *.tz \ *.Z \ *.z \ *.zip And finally: FETCHCOMMAND='rsync -vcrtz --delete-after --partial --progress --timeout=600 rsync://local_server/gentoo-packages/${FILE} ${DISTDIR}' I first omitted the "-z" and "emerge sync" hung at the first sync.
