+ Gentoo Prefix users no longer are using a SVN snapshot as their |
| 67 |
+ portage tree. This means a commit made by a developer is not |
| 68 |
+ directly accessible to users. Instead, users are using an rsync |
| 69 |
+ version of the portage tree that is amongst others enriched with |
| 70 |
+ metadata for improved performance. This tree is generated twice |
| 71 |
+ an hour, at 01 and 31. The generation usually takes about 5 |
| 72 |
+ minutes, but may take up to 25 minutes when lots of changes have |
| 73 |
+ been committed. From the moment the generation is done, the |
| 74 |
+ rsync slaves have to pick up the updated copy from the main |
| 75 |
+ generation server. The slaves will sync with the main server in |
| 76 |
+ the last 5 minutes, thus from 25th till 30th minute. |
| 77 |
+ </p> |
| 78 |
+ <p> |
| 79 |
+ In short this means that you can only safely sync to get the fix |
| 80 |
+ 60 minutes after the commit has taken place. |
