I'm behind a firewall that doesn't allow rsync connections, so I did a emege-webrsync. It appears to have downloaded and installed a current snapshot and updated the portage cache:
sent 9492088 bytes received 762706 bytes 585988.23 bytes/sec total size is 152597091 speedup is 14.88 cleaning up transferring metadata/cache >>> Updating Portage cache: 100% *** Completed websync, please now perform a normal rsync if possible. Update is current as of the of YYYYMMDD: 20080310 I can't find any documentation that explains what "a normal rsync" is or how somebody like me can perform one. What is meant by "perform a normal rsync"? -- Grant -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
