Hi, I have the impression that when rsync'ing /usr/portage/packages from another machine (BINSERVER), emerge --update --newuse --deep --buildpkg @system @world doesn't update packages which are upto-date on BINSERVER but not upto-date on the local machine.
What's the role of the file /usr/portage/packages/Packages Many thanks for a hint, Helmut. -- Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 Aachen, Germany
