Over the weekend, I was able to 'port portage' to run on OS X 10.1. 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.
