The post sync "metadata transfer" (equivalent to `emerge --metadata`) copies readonly pre-generated cache from ${PORTDIR}/metadata/cache/ to the writable cache which is stored in /var/cache/edb/dep/${PORTDIR}. You can delete the whole cache with `rm -rf /var/cache/edb/*`. After you've done that, you can repopulate it with `emerge --metadata` (`emerge --regen` is more time consuming because it sources all of the ebuilds and eclasses instead of using the pre-generated cache). |
