-Title: Portage rsync tree verification unstable
-Author: Zac Medico <zmedico@gentoo.org>
-Posted: 2018-03-13
-Revision: 1
-News-Item-Format: 2.0
-Display-If-Installed: sys-apps/portage
-
-Portage rsync tree verification is being temporarily turned off by
-default, starting with sys-apps/portage-2.3.24. This permits
-stabilization of sys-apps/portage-2.3.24 while still working on bugs
-relating to tree verification [1]: deadlocks [2] & key fetching [3].
-
-If users wish to enable the 'rsync-verify' USE flag for sys-apps/portage,
-they need to follow these steps:
-
-1) In order to unmask the 'rsync-verify' USE flag, create a file named
-/etc/portage/profile/package.use.mask containing a line like the
-following:
-
-    sys-apps/portage -rsync-verify
-
-2) Once the 'rsync-verify' USE flag has been unmasked as described
-in step 1, it can be enabled with a line like the following in
-/etc/portage/package.use:
-
-    sys-apps/portage rsync-verify
-
-3) After the configuration changes in steps 1 and 2 have been made, run
-the following command:
-
-    emerge --oneshot --newuse '>=sys-apps/portage-2.3.24'
-
-After all above steps are successfully completed, a line like the
-following should appear in the emerge --info output for the gentoo
-repository:
-
-    sync-rsync-verify-metamanifest: yes
-
-If you wish to disable it for some reason, you can set
-'sync-rsync-verify-metamanifest = no' in your repos.conf.
