To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Message-id: X-Archives-Salt: 7e789717-088a-4257-b8f8-d2f0af4cfa16 X-Archives-Hash: 9934afea5304f168ad84cf4aeb618131 Hi, I have the impression that when rsync'ing /usr/portage/packages from another machine (BINSERVER), emerge --update --newuse --deep --buildpkg @system @world doesn't update packages which are upto-date on BINSERVER but not upto-date on the local machine. What's the role of the file /usr/portage/packages/Packages Many thanks for a hint, Helmut. -- Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 Aachen, Germany
