Look at the tail end of /var/log/emerge.log and see what you have recently |
| 12 |
emerged. The most painless way to do this is something like: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
% genlop -l | tail -n 200 | less |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Mine shows that I emerged 'sys-apps/portage-2.1.3.16' Saturday morning. My |
| 17 |
guess is that you did the same, and your 'make.conf' was modified. (Did you |
| 18 |
'update-etc' or 'dispatch-conf' after emerging?) |
| 19 |
|

| 21 |
Check that make.conf contains a section like this: |

# Synchronizing Portage |
| 24 |
# ===================== |
| 25 |
# |
| 26 |
# Each of these settings affects how Gentoo synchronizes your Portage tree. |
| 27 |
# Synchronization is handled by rsync and these settings allow some control |
| 28 |
# over how it is done. |
| 29 |
# |
| 30 |
# |
| 31 |
# SYNC is the server used by rsync to retrieve a localized rsync mirror |
| 32 |
# rotation. This allows you to select servers that are geographically |
| 33 |
# close to you, yet still distribute the load over a number of servers. |
| 34 |
# Please do not single out specific rsync mirrors. Doing so places undue |
| 35 |
# stress on particular mirrors. Instead you may use one of the following |
| 36 |
# continent specific rotations: |
| 37 |
# |
| 38 |
# Default: "rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" |
| 39 |
# North America: "rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" |
| 40 |
# South America: "rsync://rsync.samerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" |
| 41 |
# Europe: "rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" |
| 42 |
# Asia: "rsync://rsync.asia.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" |
| 43 |
# Australia: "rsync://rsync.au.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" |
| 44 |
SYNC="rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" |
| 45 |
# |
| 46 |
# PORTAGE_RSYNC_RETRIES sets the number of times portage will attempt to retrieve |
| 47 |
# a current portage tree before it exits with an error. This allows |
| 48 |
# for a more successful retrieval without user intervention most times. |
| 49 |
#PORTAGE_RSYNC_RETRIES="3" |
| 50 |
# |
| 51 |
# PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS can be used to feed additional options to the rsync |
| 52 |
# command used by `emerge --sync`. This will not change the default options |
| 53 |
# which are set by PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS (don't change those unless you know |
| 54 |
# exactly what you're doing). |
| 55 |
#PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS="" |
| 56 |

The 'SYNC' variable is the important one: |
