I notice that my eix DBs have been gradually becoming out-of-sync with |
| 2 |
my ebuild repos. eix-update shows no errors but always says there are |
| 3 |
the same number of packages. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
Strace shows about 10k open errors: |

However most of these are only metadata/md5-cache files under my layman |
| 18 |
directory, not the main portage tree. I have no idea what those files |
| 19 |
are for anyway since there's no documentation. |

It does seem to be doing something with the eix db itself as mtime is |
| 22 |
changed - just no changes are reflected when querying it, even the |
| 23 |
main repo. e.g.: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
~ # eix -e portage |
| 26 |
