Hi,
"emerge --sync" should sync with rsync.gentoo.org, to which many IP
adresses (5 at the moment).
Here's what host says:
# host rsync.gentoo.org
rsync.gentoo.org has address 129.79.6.73
rsync.gentoo.org has address 134.68.220.73
rsync.gentoo.org has address 134.68.220.74
rsync.gentoo.org has address 140.211.166.165
rsync.gentoo.org has address 64.127.121.98
The order of the adresses is random, when i rerun the command above. So
i _would_ expect, that "emerge --sync" randomly choses on the the mirrors.
But that is not true, and actually, on all my machines, "emerge --sync"
uses always the 64.x.x.x mirror, and on the machine of a friend, it used
always 129.x.x.x mirror - well, "always" is not true, but i run "emerge
--sync" over and over again, and it did never try to use another one.
So the thing is, that from my friend's DSL-connection, the server
129.x.x.x was unreachable, while the others were reachable. So we had to
change the server manually in /etc/make.conf - but i don't understand,
why "emerge --sync" used the one it was using, and why it didn't switch
to one of the other ones.
Thanks,
Sven
BTW: Merry Christmas!
