Note that one can set PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS in make.conf, with the=20 contents being added to the normal rsync command. Looking at the rsync=20 manpage, there's the --exclude-from=3D/path/to/exclude.file option. That= =20 file is then examined for a list of files and directories to exclude from= =20 the rsync. AFAIK there are other command-line options that accomplish=20 the same thing, but listing the exclusions directly on the command line. It is thus possible to exclude any directory or file that would otherwise= =20 be synced. I use that here to exclude my src dir, as I prefer that name=20 to the Gentoo standard distdir. However, it should be obvious that=20 anything a sysadmin wishes to add to the exclude list will then not be=20 synced, and it'd be entirely possible for a sysadmin to decide to use=20 that to store their own ebuilds directly in the tree. --=20 Duncan - List replies preferred.
