Hallo,
If /usr/portage/metadata/cache is really a cache, shouldn't it be generated by the local protage instead of being tranferred in rsyncs? I'm sure I'm missing something here, because obviusly this dir shouldn't be rsyncd if not necessary (it contains about 10000 files).
What's the reason why it can't be generated locally as ebuilds get parsed by portage.py?
Bye,
Josep

Good question! I can't answer it, though...
I just want to add one question. Changes to ebuilds seem to take effect
straight away. So, when is /usr/portage/metadata/* used?

During dependency calculation ... To generate it locally, can take
30mins to a few hours depending on the box - and you would have to
do it after every sync to get the benefit ....
