For those people running portage-9999. I've now merged the new |
| 2 |
plugin-sync system into the master branch. I've just added the |
| 3 |
following einfo block to the 9999.ebuild. I will be preparing |
| 4 |
a news item for review soon. We will be extending some of the modules |
| 5 |
options, adding more capabilities such as git branch and depth options. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Also in this new sync system, is a new portage native postsync hook |
| 8 |
system. It extends the hooks capabilities. I will send another email |
| 9 |
detailing those. We are making a few more adjustments to it for better |
| 10 |
backwards compatibility. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Additionally Devan <twitch153> has created a layman plugin-sync module |
| 13 |
as part his GSOC project, so emerge/emaint will be able to perform |
| 14 |
sync operations on layman installed overlays as well. layman-9999 will |
| 15 |
be getting that plugin install capability soon. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Currently all available sync modules are installed. The ebuild(s) will |
| 18 |
be getting additional use flags to control which modules will be |
| 19 |
installed once ready. |

Please read over the einfo messages so that you can help those people |
| 22 |
that ignored them when they upgraded portage. There can also be cases |
| 23 |
where the pre-einfo'd ebuild upgraded portage-9999 and consequently |
| 24 |
they did not get the enifo messages. In that case, their next emerge |
| 25 |
--sync will do nothing. They will need to set the auto-sync option in |
| 26 |
their repos.conf/gentoo.conf file. The new emaint sync module is |
| 27 |
capable of syncing any repo, regardless of the auto-sync setting. |
