That got me thinking about portage rsync'ing in general. Is it/would |
| 10 |
it be possible to rsync a subset of the portage tree based on |
| 11 |
keywords? IE, only rsync things to my local gentoo server if they're |
| 12 |
keyworded "~x86" or "x86" or "sparc", for example. That would be a |
| 13 |
cool feature if there were a clean way to implement it. Reduce |
| 14 |
syncing time and bandwidth usage on rsync mirrors. |

I've always wanted it to be like portage, just in a secondary package |
| 23 |
manager role...including both fink/dp-type functionality PLUS cool |
| 24 |
stuff like building anything for OSX from source. Of course, I also |
| 25 |
want my powerbook to project holograms and absorb laser blasts, so |
| 26 |
take that for what it's worth. |
