Subject: [gentoo-user] Syntax to exclude entire folders from emerge --sync?

1 I have an ancient Atom netbook. I use distcc to do builds for it, but
2 "emerge --sync" is done locally. It's painfull. Anything to reduce
3 the amount of unneeded stuff would help. I want to confirm that I have
4 the syntax right. In /etc/portage.make.conf I put...
5
6 PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS="--exclude-from=/etc/portage/rsync_excludes"
7
8 ...and in /etc/portage/rsync_excludes I put stuff like...
9
10 app-leechcraft/
11 app-pda/
12 app-xemacs/
13 dev-dotnet/
14 dev-embedded/
15 dev-java/
16 dev-ruby/
17 mate-extra/
18 www-apache/
19 www-servers/
20 xfce-base/
21 xfce-extra/

35 Is this correct?
