[gentoo-user] eix-sync doesn't show differences anymore

[Alexander Skwar]

Hello!

Some time ago, "eix-sync -v" used to show what's been changed between
the just run "emerge --sync" and the old database.

That's no longer done. After eix-sync is finished, I just see:

 >>> Updating Portage cache:  100%
  * IMPORTANT: 1 config files in /etc need updating.
  * Type emerge --help config to learn how to update config files.

  * Running update-eix
Reading Portage settings ..
Building database (/var/cache/eix) from scratch ..
[0] /Gentoo/Portage/tree/ (cache: cdb)
      Reading 100%
[1] /Gentoo/Portage/local-tree/misc (cache: none)
      Reading 100%
Applying masks ..
Database contains 19 packages in 147 categories.
Diffing databases (19 - 19 packages)

Any idea what's wrong?

Hi,
Disable 'cdb' caching module, look above "(cache: cdb)".
Here's mine /etc/eixrc:
# cat /etc/eixrc
PORTDIR_CACHE_METHOD="metadata"
# PORTDIR_CACHE_METHOD="none"
# PORTDIR_CACHE_METHOD="backport"
# PORTDIR_CACHE_METHOD="flat"

Commented options are old entries, only i don't remember when/why i used
them.
PS: also check einfo/elog message from portage-2.1

Ah. Okay, this helped - thanks!

I (wrongly) assumed, that this message had no importance to eix.

Thanks again,
