I just had an interesting thought that a way to mirror gentoo |
| 2 |
and cut out one portion of the mirror sync - cvs update delay |
| 3 |
would be to use emerge --fetchonly * (or whatever would work right) |
| 4 |
to create the mirror, thus it would be possible for your mirror |
| 5 |
to be more updated than the ibiblio one... (just my $0.02 here) |
