The new mirrorselect (i think >= 1.0, checked 1.0.3 against 0.89) has a problem
with rsync mirrors. Previously they were hard-coded in the script, but now are
extracted from mirrors.xml.
The problem is this file contains rsync _download_ mirrors, not those used to
update the portage tree. This leads to the situation that it can invalidate the
RSYNC variable in make.conf.
A better solution would be to have separate options, one for selecting rsync
mirrors, one to select download mirrors using the rsync protocol
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. mirrorselect -r
2. emerge --sync
Actual Results:
No sync can be done
Expected Results:
Normal sync
