Re: [gentoo-user] problem with a slow rsync server

[Ross Mansfield]

Hi again,

Thanks for the suggestions. I actually found this in the gentoo wiki
under the man page make.conf(5):

PORTAGE_RSYNC_INITIAL_TIMEOUT = integer
              Used by emerge --sync as a timeout for the initial connection to an rsync server.
              Defaults to 15 seconds.

I put this in my make.conf file with a 45 and it worked like a charm.

Thanks again!

Ross

Subject: [gentoo-user] problem with a slow rsync server

Hi,

I have a rsync server on a older machine and I'm trying to emerge --sync
another machine to the server. When I do this my emerge --sync times
out. I'm pretty sure that it's because the rsync server is on an old
machine (but I could be wrong) and was wondering does anyone knows how
to increase the timeout time for emerge --sync? 

Thanks,
Ross
