Two quick followup notes to this. |

Carpaski: |

Could you please update Portage to _obey_ .cvsrc files and use them as |
| 5 |
defaults, and failing that, use -z0 for it's settings. |

To ensure that compression is off |
| 15 |
1. You have to do is check that your ~/.ssh/ssh_config if it exists |
| 16 |
doesn't specify compression for cvs.gentoo.org. 'Compression No' should |
| 17 |
be specified if anything (if unspecified, it should default to off). |
| 18 |
2. If you have a .cvsrc file, it should contain 'cvs -z0' and not any |
| 19 |
higher numbers. |
| 20 |

| 21 |
One comment here. I am making an exception for all dial-up users. |
| 22 |
They should keep SSH compression off, and they may set their .cvsrc to |
| 23 |
'cvs -z1'. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
As some statistics, I keep the entiritly of the gentoo, gentoo-src and |
| 26 |
gentoo-x86 modules checked out. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
All of these tests are done with running one update and then running |
| 29 |
another one right away again. |

-z0 : Data transferred: ~210kb. Time: ~23 seconds. |
| 31 |
-z1 : Data transferred: ~40kb. Time: ~52 seconds. |
| 32 |
-z2 : Data transferred: ~37kb. Time: ~60 seconds. |
| 33 |
-z3 is the Portage default if you use SYNC="cvs://...." |
| 34 |
-z3 : Data transferred: ~36kb. Time: ~70 seconds. |

Sven has put together a guide on setting up SSH keys. |

http://dev.gentoo.org/~swift/sshkeys.html |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
I've moved up the key copying script to run hourly for the next few |
| 43 |
days. If you key is in place by 1 minute past each hour, you can expect |
| 44 |
that it will work by 25 past that hour. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
If you get a message "Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactiv)" |
| 47 |
that means your keys are _not_ setup or haven't synced over yet. |
