Hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
I run my own portage rsync server with ebuilds I wrote (this for my |
4 |
company) and I have a couple of questions. |
5 |
|
6 |
I recently updated portage and noticed there is a metadata directory now |
7 |
that has a cache and timestamps. |
8 |
|
9 |
1. Is there a simple way to update these timestamps when I change the |
10 |
portage tree? I mean other than edit the three files (yes, I am lazy). |
11 |
|
12 |
2. Do I need to run `emerge regen` when I update the portage tree on the |
13 |
rsync server? |
14 |
|
15 |
3. I get an error the first time I emerge something and I think it may |
16 |
have something to do with this cache. Here is the jist of the error: |
17 |
|
18 |
[root@kismet root]# emerge Date-Calc |
19 |

20 |

[root@kismet root]# |
43 |
|
44 |
I get this the first time I emerge something that is not already on the |
45 |
system and the first time I unmerge something. I do not get this on my |
46 |
personal system (also gentoo) so I assume it is something I am doing |
47 |
wrong managing the portage rsync server.. I did not have the errors |
48 |
until I updated portage. |
