7 With eix-0.29.0 which just entered the tree, eix-sync will
8 by default do this for you, so you usually do not need to
9 care about.

13
14 Either you use eix -R ... (or eix -Z ...) or, alternatively,
15 you set REMOTE_DEFAULT=1 (or -2) to avoid typing -R/-Z.
16 (You have to type -R/-Z then if you want *only* a local query).

19
20 With >=eix-0.29.0, if you use eix-sync, this will completely
21 care about updating the local data.
22
23 If you call eix-update manually (e.g. after changing some
24 local overlay manually) you should call afterwards
25 eix-remote add1 (and/or eix-remote add2, depending on whether
26 you use -R or -Z, i.e. depending which remote data you use).
27
28 For updating the remote data you just use as usual
29 eix-remote update1 (and/or eix-remote update2),
30
31 If you want to do the latter automatically with every eix-sync,
32 put e.g. the following lines into your /etc/eix-sync.conf:
33
34 @StatusInfo Downloading remote1
35 @eix-remote fetch1
36
37 (Of course, you can replace 1 by 2 and/or add corresponding
38 lines for 2 to fetch the alternative remote data).
39
40 (In /etc/eix-sync.conf it suffices to call "eix-remote fetch"
41 because the "eix-remote add" is called automatically
42 after the call of eix-update).
