Since this mail went out, I could not find an explanation of how to get |
| 48 |
the changelogs back with regular emerge --sync over rsync. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
Searching the wiki raised no answer or links with outdated information. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
Playing with repos.conf lead nowhere except to complaints that the |
| 53 |
gentoo-repo-changelog had the same name than gentoo-portage. |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
I tried asking #gentoo-dev but the best answer I was given was to |
| 56 |
switch to git clone and to generate the changelogs myself. Problem is, |
| 57 |
I am not always on a dev machine or on a machine that can spare these |
| 58 |
CPU cycles so it does not seem appropriate. |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
Is there any way to get this back that doesn't involve extra operations |
| 61 |
over emerge --sync ? |
