17 +.SH "NAME"
18 +egencache \- generate metadata cache for ebuild repositories
19 +.SH "SYNOPSIS"
20 +.B egencache
21 +.I [options] --update [ATOM]\fR...
22 +.SH "DESCRIPTION"
23 +The egencache program generates metadata cache for ebuild repositories.
24 +.SH "ATOMS"
25 +An optional list of specific package atoms to update. If no package atoms are
26 +specified then all will be updated. See ebuild(5) for the details on package
27 +atom syntax.
28 +.SH OPTIONS
29 +.TP
30 +.BR "\-\-cache\-dir=CACHE_DIR"
31 +Location of the metadata cache.
32 +.br
33 +Defaults to /var/cache/edb/dep.
34 +.TP
35 +.BR "\-\-config\-root=CONFIG_ROOT"
36 +Location of portage config files.
37 +.br
38 +Defaults to /.
39 +.TP
40 +.BR "\-\-ignore-default-opts"
41 +Causes \fIEGENCACHE_DEFAULT_OPTS\fR to be ignored.
42 +.TP
43 +.BR "\-\-jobs=JOBS"
44 +Specifies the maximum number of ebuild processes to spawn simultaneously.
45 +Also see the related \fB\-\-load\-average\fR option.
46 +.TP
47 +.BR \-\-load\-average=LOAD
48 +Specifies that maximum load allowed when spawning multiple jobs.
49 +.TP
50 +.BR "\-\-rsync"
51 +When used together with the \fB\-\-update\fR options, this enables a workaround
52 +for cases in which the content of a cache entry changes and neither the file
53 +mtime nor size changes, preventing rsync from detecting changes. Such cases are
54 +handled by bumping the mtime on the ebuild (and the corresponding cache entry).
55 +This option should only be needed for distribution via something like
56 +\fBrsync\fR(1), which relies on timestamps and file sizes to detect changes
57 +(see \fBbug 139134\fR). It's not needed with \fBgit\fR(1) since that uses a
58 +more thorough mechanism which allows it to detect changed inode numbers
59 +(described in \fIracy-git.txt\fR in the git technical docs).
60 +.TP
61 +.BR "\-\-update [ATOM] ... "
62 +Update the \fImetadata/cache/\fR directory (generate metadata as necessary).
63 +If no package atoms are specified then all will be updated.
64 +.SH "ENVIRONMENT OPTIONS"
65 +.TP
66 +\fBEGENCACHE_DEFAULT_OPTS\fR
67 +If this variable is set in \fBmake.conf\fR(5) then any options that it
68 +contains will be added to the beginning of the command line on every
69 +invocation. These options will not be added if the
70 +\fB\-\-ignore-default\-opts\fR option is specified.
71 +.SH "REPORTING BUGS"
