Obviously I only > want the rsync internal server to update once a day. Following that document means that you are exporting the /usr/portage directory on the local box for your internal servers. This has some implications: 1. the /usr/portage directory is not updated by this process. You still need to emerge --sync the local system. This is QED by a cron task. 2. This only syncs up the /usr/portage tree but does not help reduce the number of distfiles downloads. Look at http://gentoo-wiki.com/Http_proxy and http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Download_Cache_for_LAN-Http-Replicator for instructions there. By using the http-replicator you only will be downloading distfiles/patch files once. 3. There is no additional disk space requirements for the rsync mirror; you're serving up your existing /usr/portage directory so it's not like you wouldn't have those files around anyway. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
