If you put the snapshot + md5sum in the directory |
| 18 |
$PORTAGE_TMPDIR/emerge-webrsync it will use those without downloading |
| 19 |
a new snapshot. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Or, you can manually do the sync yourself. Extract the |
| 22 |
portage-snapshot into a directory, and then use the following command: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
rsync -av --progress --stats --delete --delete-after \ |
| 25 |
--exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/packages' \ |
| 26 |
--exclude='/local' . ${PORTDIR%%/} |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Either define PORTDIR, or replace that with the location of your |
| 29 |
portage tree (/usr/portage by default). |
