Won't cause any problems, since as mentioned by other posters, -a |
| 18 |
implies -p. Even if it didn't, you wouldn't have problems because your |
| 19 |
sync timestamp is contained in /usr/portage/timestamp.chk. As long as |
| 20 |
the *contents* of this file are not modified, your syncs will be fine. |
| 21 |
Other portage stuff does not use timestamps as far as I know (of files |
| 22 |
in /usr/portage anyway). |
