Re: [gentoo-alt] sync failure on OS X

[Francois Bissey]

And it looks like for some reasons the content for Babel is not synced:

fbissey@Mirage ~/Gentoo $ ll usr/portage/dev-python/babel

total 20K

drwxr-xr-x    5 fbissey staff  170 Jun  5 10:17 .

drwxr-xr-x 1409 fbissey staff  47K May 31 00:01 ..

-rw-r--r--    1 fbissey staff 8.4K Jun  4 19:33 ChangeLog

-rw-r--r--    1 fbissey staff 2.9K Jun  4 19:33 Manifest

-rw-r--r--    1 fbissey staff  617 Jun  4 19:33 metadata.xml



scp-ing the stuff from a regular box is temporarily fixing the 

problem. We’ll see what happens next time I synced.
