I want option number 2 ;) |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Any suggestions on what rsync options I should use to merge in |
| 33 |
(overwrite) the files I have in /usr/local/portage in |
| 34 |
/opt/gentoo-rsync/portage? |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Let say I have app-shells/bash in my PORTAGE_OVERLAY tree. How would I |
| 37 |
go about and make sure that my version of bash is always used, even if a |
| 38 |
newer version is distributed from gentoo? |
