Bugzilla Bug 97462

I share Portage through NFS and wanted to use esync to 'emerge metadata'
instead 
of 'emerge sync' for my NFS/Portage clients (esync is useful for a cron job
that 
puts legible output in your mailbox). So here's my patch for /usr/lib/esearch/
esync.py to include the -m / --metadate option.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:





Here's the patch for /usr/lib/esearch/esync.py (app-portage/esearch-0.7.1):

Sorry about that. Here's a patch I attached to the wrong bug.

http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=62309&action=view

Deeply sorry. :-(

Created an attachment (id=62332) [edit]
This patch updates both esync and the esync man page in esearch-0.7.1

I did not update the Italian man page (<it/esync.1>).

Released in esearch-0.7.1-r1
