Why doesn't this happen when I do my weekly 'eix-sync' ? |
| 23 |
Perhaps it silently downloads them, then deletes them again, |
| 24 |
or perhaps it simply downloads the Manifest on those occasions, |
| 25 |
but has to calculate it specially for the non-Portage overlay. |

I'll give it another try, but suggestions are still welcome. |

Thanks for this one. |
