21 -Title: Portage rsync tree verification unstable

28 -Portage rsync tree verification is being temporarily turned off by
29 -default, starting with sys-apps/portage-2.3.24. This permits
30 -stabilization of sys-apps/portage-2.3.24 while still working on bugs
31 -relating to tree verification [1]: deadlocks [2] & key fetching [3].
32 -
33 -If users wish to enable the 'rsync-verify' USE flag for sys-apps/portage,
34 -they need to follow these steps:
35 -
36 -1) In order to unmask the 'rsync-verify' USE flag, create a file named
37 -/etc/portage/profile/package.use.mask containing a line like the
38 -following:
39 -
40 - sys-apps/portage -rsync-verify
41 -
42 -2) Once the 'rsync-verify' USE flag has been unmasked as described
43 -in step 1, it can be enabled with a line like the following in
44 -/etc/portage/package.use:
45 -
46 - sys-apps/portage rsync-verify
47 -
48 -3) After the configuration changes in steps 1 and 2 have been made, run
49 -the following command:
50 -
51 - emerge --oneshot --newuse '>=sys-apps/portage-2.3.24'
52 -
53 -After all above steps are successfully completed, a line like the
54 -following should appear in the emerge --info output for the gentoo
55 -repository:
56 -
57 - sync-rsync-verify-metamanifest: yes
58 -
59 -If you wish to disable it for some reason, you can set
60 -'sync-rsync-verify-metamanifest = no' in your repos.conf.
