I can and partially did already. |

Operation: |
| 30 |
Primary control of all sync operations has been moved from emerge to |
| 31 |
emaint. "emerge --sync" now just calls the emaint sync module with |
| 32 |
the --auto option. This --auto option performs a sync on only those |
| 33 |
repositories with the auto-sync setting set to 'yes' or 'true'. |
| 34 |
If it is absent, then emerge --sync may not sync anything. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Note: |
| 37 |
If you have default portage settings for location, sync-type then |
| 38 |
it should use the backup defaults and sync the gentoo repo still. |

I'll add the bit for layman overlays, but with the changes suggested |
| 42 |
here and irc it is at 100 lines now. I'll keep it short. |

P.S. caught me just in time, I was about to send the updated version. |
