Bugzilla Bug 94581

Hi!

The generated tarball is moved to $STATE_DIR, if the compressed md5sum differs.  This is why the script should also try to remove old tarballs in $STATE_DIR.

Hmm. Lets queue 'em up a bit, shall we?  Any other bugs you've seen?
I've been thinking about allowing variation on the compression settings to allow
for faster sync'ings; currently the bzip2 -k9 gets backgrounded while tarsync
does it's thing, but _only_ if tarsync is available.
Thoughts?

That's a good idea.

Right now I haven't noticed another bug, but maybe tomorrow -- who knows? ;-)

I don't know how much impact this option would have on syncing speed, but it's
definately worth a try.  I guess that the improved syncing speed is a good
tradeoff for the marginally gained size of the compressed tarball.

Pardon the delay, been taking some majorly needed time off from gentoo and the
computer as of late.

The size bit is right, intention if I add it is to make it a knob so the user
can turn down the compression if they desire.
Re: syncing time, if tarsync is used, the tarball is recompressed in the
background while tarsync does it's thing; multi proc systems, makes a decent
difference synce wise, so the gain wouldn't be massive.
It would, however, be useful for low end systems I'd think.

I'm emerge-delta-webrsync'ing right now, and I think it would also be useful, if
nice-values for the applications emerge-delta-webrsync starts could be set
(either via command-line switch or configuration file).

On my Duron 1300 my mouse pointer is skipping during syncing.

(Some minutes later:) On second thought... I could simply start
emerge-delta-webrsync with nice, and the above problems would be gone! ;-)  Or
should PORTAGE_NICENESS be used?

PORTAGE_NICENESS would require some trickery, basically re-execing
emerge-delta-webrsync which is nasty :)
I'll poke into it however.

You could renice the script.  Should work also...

released as 3.3, w/ hard tarsync dep for x86 and stabled
niceness bit, will look at it when I get time (lacking time atm).
