I've a couple questions about this whole process... First off, rsync doesn't like this expression: /usr/bin/rsync -rlptDvz --progress --stats --delete --timeout=180 --exclude='distfiles/*' --exclude='packages/*' rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage/* /sw/usr/portage when i run the same command using this rsync location rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage/ My shell [tcsh and bash] doesn't respond with a "rsync is bitching about a malformed rsync expression". So to finalize my question, how can i remove that last "*" from the rsync expression? I've greped the emerge files and portage source files with little/no success. My second question is related to package maintainership. Do i need to create a new ARCH variable? Something like "Darwin5.6-Apple-PPC"? I've read the threads on porting portage to different gnu/linux distros [that's how i went about porting portage to os x/darwin] and the thread from the guy that ported portage to FreeBSD. No real success there, hence, the email to this listserv. Any input/help about this stuff would be much appreciated. Oh, I've almost figured out the group/user permission issues with os x. It's weird b/c editing the passwd and group files in /etc doesn't really work like it does in the standard *nix enviornment. And if anyone else is doing something like this with some success - I'd like some help or just a note so that I know that I'm not the only one who's not a fan of Fink or the gnu-darwin ports projects [they're packages are too old and i don't really like their systems, I love portage on my desktop machine and i think having it on darwin/os x would be very cool]. thanks all, Christopher Paul Taylor, Clemson University Computer Science Dept. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
