6 Nope, that it not supported.
7
8 What is supported, however, is excluding parts of the tree (be it single
9 directories, packages or entire categories). Although slightly outdated [1]
10 should be able to provide some useful info.

12 With portage 2.1I believe this:
13
14 RSYNC_EXCLUDEFROM="/etc/portage/rsync_excludes"
15
16 should be replaced by this:
17
18 PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS="--exclude=/etc/portage/rsync_excludes"
19
20 If anyone can confirm that then please add that to the wiki [1].
