20 I don't know if this handles things like package renames that get
21 processed at the end of syncing. Maybe emerge knows to do this on the
22 next run? I haven't tried this way, can someone confirm?

24 One way that works is to uncomment the [gentoo-portage] entry in
25 /etc/rsync.conf on your laptop, start rsyncd, then point your desktop
26 to sync from your laptop with:
27
28 SYNC="rsync://ip.of.laptop.here/gentoo-portage"
29
30 in make.conf, and do an emerge --sync / eix-sync as normal.
