Hi,
subject says it all: I'm using gentoo over rather slow line,
and while syncing portage tree, lines keep scrolling so fast
it saturates my connection. How can I make "emerge --sync"
somehow less verbose?
I know, I can use "--quiet", but then I do not see anyting.
Maybe something like status-bar, or counter (0-100%) would
be nice...

I usually use "screen" and run it from there. You can then "tailf" the
emerge-fetch.log if you really want to watch.

If you use eix-sync you can make emerge be quir and let eix show you
the differences when it's done. (It's very useful even if you're not
on a slow link.)

Portage relies on rsync for it's emerge --sync. You can add extra
command line parameters to the rsync call by specifying them in the
variable
PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
in your /etc/make.conf
Take a look at `man rsync` for a list of possible options and `man
make.conf` for a list of all default options.
For example, you could specify --out-format '.'
That way, for every file it will only print a single dot and a line
feed. That way, you can still monitor progress with a minimum of traffic.
Hope this helps,
Florian Philipp

What rsync should do, as I suggested recently , is not mention any
directory in which it does no work.
