 Posted: Mon Apr 20, 2015 1:56 pm Post subject: new sync options [solved] |
 |
|
not a good day what with libav vs. ffmpeg issues
but my question is about the new sync options
in particular, when I'm home my laptops sync to my
local server running an rsync server
old style in make.conf:
| Quote: | | SYNC="rsync://192.168.0.5/gentoo-portage" |
when travelling I comment this out; easy
is there a guide for this somewhere for setting up similarly EASY
system for the repos.conf system?
Do I have to make a file for the local rsync in repos.conf which I'll then have
to move in or out of the directory when I'm travelling? Or does the new system
have an advantage here so some automation can be developed?

No, in /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf just have mutliple sync-uri = settings, comment one or more out. So, really it's the same thing, just different file, different variable name.
eg: in mine I do similar for testing different things
| Code: | [gentoo]
location = /usr/portage
#location = /var/tmp/test/gentoo
#sync-type = websync
sync-type = rsync
#sync-uri = rsync://192.168.1.1/gentoo-portage
sync-uri = rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage
auto-sync = yes

I was looking at this guide:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki//etc/portage/repos.conf
My '/etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf', after stripping out most of the comments, looks like the following. It seems to work. Disclaimer: I am NOT an expert:
| Code: |
# see https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki//etc/portage/repos.conf
[DEFAULT]
main-repo = gentoo
[gentoo]
priority = 9999
[gentoo]
location = /usr/portage
#sync-type = cvs
sync-type = rsync
#sync-uri = :pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gentoo.org:/var/cvsroot
sync-uri = rsync://rsync.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage
# sync-cvs-repo = gentoo-x86
auto-sync = yes

could you do it via symlink and rc.local? detect what your IP is and link to the local, else link to the global

| I just commented out my SYNC= line in make.conf. I'll change it next time when portage is provided as a git repo. |

yes, thanks, that's good
(it would be possible to write a script that checked the
network to see which sync-uri to use but it's just as
easy to comment out by hand when I'm away from
home ...)
