Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
"emerge --sync" should sync with rsync.gentoo.org, to which many IP |
| 4 |
adresses (5 at the moment). |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Here's what host says: |
| 7 |
# host rsync.gentoo.org |
| 8 |
rsync.gentoo.org has address 129.79.6.73 |
| 9 |
rsync.gentoo.org has address 134.68.220.73 |
| 10 |
rsync.gentoo.org has address 134.68.220.74 |
| 11 |
rsync.gentoo.org has address 140.211.166.165 |
| 12 |
rsync.gentoo.org has address 64.127.121.98 |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
The order of the adresses is random, when i rerun the command above. So |
| 15 |
i _would_ expect, that "emerge --sync" randomly choses on the the mirrors. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
But that is not true, and actually, on all my machines, "emerge --sync" |
| 18 |
uses always the 64.x.x.x mirror, and on the machine of a friend, it used |
| 19 |
always 129.x.x.x mirror - well, "always" is not true, but i run "emerge |
| 20 |
--sync" over and over again, and it did never try to use another one. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
So the thing is, that from my friend's DSL-connection, the server |
| 24 |
129.x.x.x was unreachable, while the others were reachable. So we had to |
| 25 |
change the server manually in /etc/make.conf - but i don't understand, |
| 26 |
why "emerge --sync" used the one it was using, and why it didn't switch |
| 27 |
to one of the other ones. |
