Title: Portage rsync tree verification unstable
Author: Zac Medico <zmed...@gentoo.org>
Posted: 2018-03-13
Revision: 1
News-Item-Format: 2.0
Display-If-Installed: sys-apps/portage
Starting with sys-apps/portage-2.3.24, Portage will no longer verify
the Gentoo repository after rsync by default, which contradicts the
earlier "Portage rsync tree verification" news item.
If users wish to enable the 'rsync-verify' USE flag for sys-apps/portage,
they need to follow these steps:
1) In order to unmask the 'rsync-verify' USE flag, create a file named
/etc/portage/profile/package.use.mask containing a line like the
following:
sys-apps/portage -rsync-verify
2) Once the 'rsync-verify' USE flag has been unmasked as described
in step 1, it can be enabled with a line like the folling in
/etc/portage/package.use:
sys-apps/portage rsync-verify
3) After the configuration changes in steps 1 and 2 have been made, run
the following command:
emerge --oneshot --newuse '>=sys-apps/portage-2.3.24'
After all above steps are successfully completed, a line like the
following should appear in the emerge --info output for the gentoo
repository:
sync-rsync-verify-metamanifest: yes
If you wish to disable it for some reason, you can set
'sync-rsync-verify-metamanifest = no' in your repos.conf.
Problems related to the 'rsync-verify' USE flag are tracked here:
