Hi Alan, |
| 27 |
|

thanks for your reply. |

I want to lower the load on the official gentoo server(s). |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
When the log of an eix-sync process is printed on the console, it is |
| 33 |
said, that it is *suggested* (hrrm), to only sinc once a day. Since |
| 34 |
the ARM and the PC both use the same DSL line, both syncs are seen by |
| 35 |
the gentoo server(s) as it came from the same IP (the one of my ISP). |
| 36 |
In the worst case, one could be blacklisted...which I dont want to be. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Especially with the ARM I need to sync once a day, since I have to |
| 39 |
limit the amount of software to be recompiled/updated after each sync |
| 40 |
since the ARM is not *that* fast (for example a kernel compilation |
| 41 |
take ~8h). Ah, by the way: I quit crosscompilation, distcc and |
| 42 |
such... Both successfully screwed up my gentoos on the ARM. |
