[gentoo-user] progress in emerge --sync

[gentoo-user] progress in emerge --sync

[Beau E. Cox]

Hi -

I notice that the rsync command generated by emerge --sync contains
the --progress flag. I run emerge --sync as a cron job ang log the
output; the progress goo messes up my logs.

I can't find any mention of a 'progress' (or a 'noprogress') flag
in the emerge man page. Is there a way to get rid of --progress
that I can't find?

This is picky-picky and really not important, it's just that I
tend to be that way some times...no big deal...just wondering. :)

Myself, I used to mail myself the output of esync, and now I mail myself
the output of eix-sync, so I don't have so much experience with using
emerge --sync in a cron job, but this looks like it might be what you're
looking for:


--nospinner
              Disables the spinner for the session.  The spinner is
active when the terminal device is determined to be a TTY.   This  flag
 disables it regardless.

You might also be interested in:

    --quiet (-q)
              Results may vary, but the general outcome is a reduced or
condensed output from portage's displays.

Hope this helps,
Holly

Well, I didn't know it did this.  I just type in emerge sync && emerge
-efv world && emerge -upv world and walk away.  I check it latter one
when my modem is idle. 

When did this start anyway?

Why -e? That will only fetch any source packages you have used and
deleted. Try emerge --sync && emerge -uDNf world && emerge -uavDN world.

Or put emerge --quiet --sync && emerge -uDNf world && emerge -upvDN world
in a cron job and you'll get the list of updates mailed to you.

--nospinner and --quiet have been there since Adam was a lad.

Well, I'm paranoid OK.  I'm always worried that something may go nuts
and I may have to start from scratch OS wise.  I have not seen this
hapen yet but I'm still paranoid.  I'm on a really slow dial-up and I
like to have ALL the source files I would need to at least get a GUI and
mozilla working.  I would like to not have to spend a week downloading
it all either.  That is my poor reason for the -e.  It gets everything,
needed or not.  Yes, I back it up to a second hard drive too.

I was talking about the progress thing.  Is this the little thing that
used to hang at 50%?  Or is he talking about something else?  I'm still
sleepy so maybe my gray cells are not working yet.  Wouldn't be the
first time that happened either.

Something else, the --progress option for rsync. emerge --sync calls
rsync with this option. It seems a bit pointless for emerge --sync, where
the files are so small there isn't time to show progress information
"find /usr/portage/ -size +100k" only finds four files.

Is "emerge --sync --quiet" too quiet for you?

'emerge --sync --quiet 1> /dev/null 2>&1' will put nothing in your logs.
If you prefer, just use 'emerge --sync --quiet' and it will say when it's
working but not do the progress or anything else really.
