Portage is really an amazing tool :) I'm so sad I can't use gentoo on servers at work. My boss and other workers are huge fans of debian. Thank god, they let me install a gentoo on my box :p I discovered something interesting in debian : debbootstrap. A tool to manage chrooted environments quite nicely. I wonder if there are similar tools in gentoo. You just choose what kind of debian you want in the chroot (stable, testing, ...) and debbootstrap manage the whole creation. Moreover, it creates some init.d scripts to restart services inside the chroot.. Usefull when restarting the server. (I know, this is surely not the right place to speak about that) John Nilsson wrote: > On Sat, 2004-06-12 at 11:10, Philippe Lafoucrière wrote: > >>$ time emerge rsync >>$ time emerge -UDp world > > > I see it's been a while since you updated you portage skills =) > > http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=148415 a nice thread on the > topic. > > summary: > emerge rsync = emerge sync > -U is evil, use /etc/portage/* (man portage) instead. > -p can be replaced with -a to speed things up a bit. > > Just a friendly advice > -John -- gentoo-portage-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
