Command "emerge rsync" is used to synchronize the remote portage tree and the local one.
I wonder if there is a new version of the utility "rsync" itself, how to upgrade and compile the new version thru portage system? Look like command "emerge rsync" won't upgrade the "rsync" utility itself. |

Nice problem...............the thing you can todo: emerge --update net-misc/rsync-2.5.4.ebuild
So just specify the ebuild file.

emerge is like rpm in that you can specify the package name without the version number as a shortcut... if you want a specific ebuild, just type it out in it's entirety after finding it in the /usr/portage directory somewhere
