[gentoo-dev] emerge rsync obsolete?

[Sven Vermeulen]

Hi,

I'm planning on substituting every "emerge rsync" I can find in the docs to
"emerge sync". Is there *any* reason why I should not do it?

AFAIK is Portage 2.0.47-r10 stable on all supported architectures and
2.0.47-r10 has /usr/bin/emerge with "sync" being the same as "rsync":

[...]
                if x[2:]=="rsync":
                    #print
                    #print red("*** --rsync has been deprecated.")
                    #print red("***   Please use '--sync' instead.")
                    x="--sync"
[...]
            if x=="rsync":
                #print red("***   Please use '--sync' instead.")
                x="sync"
[...]
if myaction in ["sync","rsync"] and (not "--help" in myopts):
[...]


Wkr,

Bless you for changing the docs.  Nick, after 1.4 comes out would it be
reasonable to switch the behavior of "emerge rsync" over to actually
emerging the rsync program?

Seems reasonable. Maybe for the 1.4 release it might make sense to put
in a disclaimer on the rsync ebuild notifying the user of the new
behaviour. Kind of like Evolution 1.3.x uses at the moment (short
message and 5 second sleep).

Cheers,
Ian.
