Yes. And you will see the same output that your see at the end of emerge - --sync (the profile updates phase, whatever it's called) when you run emerge. To update the eix database you need to run eix-update. But a more elegant solution is to emerge app-admin/gentoo-rsync-mirror and setup your own rsync mirror. > Jorge > - -- Fernando Rodriguez -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJYDjh0AAoJEPbOFX/5UlwckKsP+gJWRUQQvEzI9Zqu/6DXrCvw tu3BMejUGngXr6ZAyMZZCXAqzNV1a9+4OrGTohwjYdwRMBni26yuapfGdKABw1kS hVoM4yLwaos0VCET0gXUmQVWu8hnTgpTqOtFLEtCHjhr0NR1ic+xjr/B+edBxZUo jNKjpARVggrD/IA56KFPUiRFtxnd2C4szmJH4pQuDoxrZg+mrnujGeMb8bIPmJ/f yFYh/7hqwcFVUnt3YV0HUWv83FozXY+DdLEhZbAZTBtlaK1VhfjVaVPvbOVmVbpa fFzYB4hz0gurhK/A3ulY5Upe7Gqpa5kimot2Ca70h2x1i7BSZoTUiBsDkvl0xqMT YayMZ+FBzUZ+A+rv5v7cyXJCsiY7a9kTdzbR/gOl6joPEovna0MTMMK2mJFU8xW9 srsAFD1p1Fac8mkCvwdhTWt7yFJgkTf3kUC5l8/mY7WqzXh3Vki8IB+xI3/Zdohk yjWRf4rCP3AKgQnbMV7f6R22GKmBvRcSTcO+L4W63UIotNeLb0eEZlWP5yQa+sfE 2nPSQZmR/HFlZ6ubUceFB/74FhgnZll9zHy76oIB53zQgslm9LRgypRX6S76G3CR i7t26EWxVxK+GoGqan0nEyGKvwHorBfAPW8KC12nnany+7gtNQo3OcU7irJx+EXJ qljNWt25JuLFwPHUBNxP =26W6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
