[gentoo-user] portage 2.2.21: rsync_excludes no longer taken into account

[gentoo-user] portage 2.2.21: rsync_excludes no longer taken into account

[Holger Hoffstätte]

After today's update to ~portage-2.2.21 rsync gives more more than I
asked for on repo update; it seems rsync_excludes is no longer read
or observed.

It's specified in PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS and of course the file
with the exclusions exists etc. This has worked for aeons.

Does anybody know what's up here? The release notes don't mention
anything related (or I missed it).

thanks,
Holger

rsync has no option called rsync_excludes. Exactly what options are
you specifying in PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS?

No, it hasn't - I understand that. I understand rsync better than I
want to, trust me.. :)

$grep RSYNC /etc/portage/make.conf
PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS="--compress --exclude-from=/etc/portage/rsync_excludes"

This is the way documented on the Gentoo wiki, and broke today (with .21).
Hence I was thinking that maybe this now needs to go into the repos.conf
config or got broken some other way. Just figured I ask before filing an
unnecessary bug.

thanks

I was going to try and reproduce it, but if you are certain it
happened as a result of upgrading portage just go ahead and file the
bug.
