But isn't
emerge --sync
a different command from the more traditional
emerge sync
?
And could that be causing the problem?
If not, my questions would be
1) What is the speed of your Internet connection?
2) What is your geographical location?
3) What mirrors are you setting in /etc/make.conf?
On my PC (AthlonXP 2200+, ADSL via LAN, located in the Netherlands and
using the Europe mirrors to sync via
SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage"), an emerge sync
takes about... just a minute, I'll do one now and tell you in a minute....
10 minutes:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ->
I know I have a pretty fast connection (8000/1024), but even on dialup,
I can't see an hour or more being in any way normal, unless:
1) you have connection problems (firewall?)
2) you are conneting to a server with connection problems (server is
naturally slow, node between you and server experiencing problems)
3) 1 + 2 combined
4) you're syncing the entire mirror (as if you were a mirror yourself),
rather than just the tree.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think there is something wrong
with your setup in some respect for an emerge sync to be taking that
long. Definitely *not* "the Gentoo way".
HTH,
Holly
