Hi All

I've set up a local rsync mirror for the rest of my LAN. The problems lies in that the 'emerge --sync' when performed from another LAN machine doesn't pull the 'distfiles' and 'packages' directory under /usr/portage.

Here is my rsyncd.conf

Code: Select all


# This line is required by the /etc/init.d/rsyncd script
pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
use chroot = yes
read only = yes

hosts allow=192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0
hosts deny=*

# Simple example for enabling your own local rsync server
[gentoo-portage]
        path = /usr/portage
        comment = Gentoo Portage tree

Thanks for you help.

Code: Select all

ignorance ~ # grep RSYNC_OPTS /etc/make.globals
PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages"

Try overriding that in make.conf
