Hi! I'm the admin of rsync5.de.gentoo.org.
For quite a while now (over a year, maybe even two or more), the gentoo-x86-portage rsync module has been deemed deprecated. Yet still the manual for setting up an rsync server says that it should be configured. I see about 1700 connections on my server per day. In the last few months I have seen these counts for syncs against gentoo-x86-portage: 22 2006/01 17 2006/02 4 2006/03 11 2006/04 2 2006/05 This tells me two things: First, there are still people out there who use it. They should be more explicitly discouraged from doing so. Second, while there are some people who use the module, there are so few that after all this time we should finally be able to get rid of the module. It hasn't served any useful purpose for months if not years. The only reason it has lingered so long is probably because it uses nearly no extra resources. What do you think?
