RE: [gentoo-user] Question about emerge
Actually emerge sync wipesout the entire portage tree and rewrites the whole thing, hence the reason it takes so much longer, whereas emerge rsync compares your portage tree with the current one and only updates it. -Original Message- From: Seth Chandler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 24, 2003 3:19 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] Question about emerge -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 this is correct, but sync is one letter shorter, so i recomend that =) seth On Monday 24 March 2003 02:38, Susie wrote: My understanding of it from running into where I had to use sync vs rsync(new portage that unmaked when it shouldn't of at the time).

Re: [gentoo-user] Question about emerge
My understanding of it from running into where I had to use sync vs rsync(new portage that unmaked when it shouldn't of at the time). Is they are the same. Sync is the new command and rsync the old. Here is what the man page says: rsync See sync below. sync Initiates a portage tree update with one of the rsync.gentoo.org mirrors. Note that any changes you have made to the portage tree will be erased. Except for in special circumstances, this uses rsync to do the update. See make.conf's description of PORTDIR_OVERLAY for a method to avoid deletions. When I'd got the newish portage one time it complained I'd used rsync and told me it was an outdated command and I should use sync instead. Then later that portage was masked. When it was re released it allowed the rsync without complaint. So I think you can use either or. On Mon, 24 Mar 2003 07:55:02 +0100 Renat Golubchyk [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi!
