I sync every six hours and update cvs on demand. Although if I commit something and I think a manifest may have barfed I'll sync an extra time.


If you weren't a developer I would remind you of the rules. :-P :wink:

earlier in this thread I said that I synced everyday, that isn't as true now that I have portage rss feeds. I only sync when there is an update I want.

I sync like one time per month, unless I have a specific reason to sync before emerging something.
I also do two full updates per year.

Same here. ~arch Portage keeps me coming back for more updates fairly often. Last sync was to get Gnome 2.14 & modular X, though.

It's a good philosophy. Just watch packages.g.o regularly. Takes a load off the mirrors, and saves wear'n'tear on your HDD.

I synch 3-4 times per week per box (work vs home), and do an emerge -puDN world probably once or twice a week. Why? It's fun.
