[gentoo-user] emerge --sync problem

[Matthew R. Lee]

I haven't been able to emerge --sync for the last few days and  I can't figure 
out why.  When I try I get the following output:

Welcome to the UK Mirror Service

our new domain name.

client: nothing to do: perhaps you need to specify some filenames or the 
--recursive option?

>>> starting rsync with rsync://212.219.56.146/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo...
>>> checking server timestamp ...
>>> retry ...

(and so on for 3 retries)

!!! Rsync has not successfully finished. It is recommended that you keep
!!! trying or that you use the 'emerge-webrsync' option if you are unable
!!! to use rsync due to firewall or other restrictions. This should be a
!!! temporary problem unless complications exist with your network
!!! (and possibly your system's filesystem) configuration.

rsync exits with the following error (code 23) at main.c(653)

emerge-webrsync works.  I'm not sync-ing excessively, usually only once a 
week. I've tried different servers.  I don't have a firewall setup

Any ideas?

Sounds like you're having problems with your rsync mirrors.  What values do
you have in /etc/make.conf?  I have http://gentoo.osuosl.org/ listed as my
primary mirror because it seems to be the most reliable from my end.

Has anything changed since the problem started?  For example, an rsync upgrade (see /var/log/emerge.log)?

The output of "emerge --info" may be helpful.

UK Mirror doesn't run an portage sync. They have snapshots, distfiles and more.

Check your make.conf...
