I have /usr/portage/distfiles as a symlink to another filesytem that has more space than the root filesystem. Everytime I do an emerge sync, it overwrites this and creates a directory. A simple change to the rsync exclude statements would fix this problem. Have a look. This: mycommand="/usr/bin/rsync -rlptDvz --progress --stats --delete --delete-after --exclude='distfiles/*' --exclude='packages/*' " would be changed to this: mycommand="/usr/bin/rsync -rlptDvz --progress --stats --delete --delete-after --exclude='/distfiles/' --exclude='/packages/' " Thanks for the consideration, Timothy Robinson -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
