Hello list, |
2 |
|
3 |
I am needing to allow for further configuration of rsync for syncing portage. |
4 |
The addition of RSYNC_OPTIONS in make.conf could alleviate this need for me, |
5 |
but what do you guys think? |
6 |
|
7 |
In my case, the local rsync mirror needs to be password protected to meet our |
8 |
company's security requirements. The patch allows me to add to make.conf: |
9 |
RSYNC_OPTIONS="--password-file=/etc/portage/some.passwd.file.name" |
10 |
|
11 |
On another note, I was wondering if it was completely necessary to have the |
12 |
'--exclude="..."' options built directly into the emerge script? It's |
13 |
excluding /distfiles, /local, and /packages. I could see a use in being able |
14 |
to modify these. What about a default --exclude-from file that could exclude |
15 |
those dirs, but allow the administrator to modify them? |
16 |
|
17 |
I'm not very familiar with the process of submitting patches. Would someone |
18 |
point me in a direction where I should be headed next? Maybe submit a bug |
19 |
report as a feature request..? |

Thanks! |
