1 Hi,
2
3 I have the impression that when rsync'ing /usr/portage/packages from
4 another machine (BINSERVER),
5 emerge --update --newuse --deep --buildpkg @system @world
6 doesn't update packages which are upto-date on BINSERVER
7 but not upto-date on the local machine.

9 What's the role of the file
10 /usr/portage/packages/Packages
11
12 Many thanks for a hint,
13 Helmut.
