I'll investigate in a bit -- a quick --h= elp > from both programs doesn't show anything obvious. Probably something > easy. update-eix You might want to create a cron job, I have no idea if the package installs one by default. However, if you run eix-sync instead of emerge --sync, it should update the eix database as well, so running eix-update would be redundant. It will also list the diff when the sync is done if you run it manually. --=20 Jes=FAs Guerrero
