Beginning with portage-2.1_pre7, I am unable to emerge sync. If I downgrade to pre6-r7, everything is fine...

emerge-websync functioned and forced me to downgrade to 2.1_pre7-r3. I then run emerge --debug --sync again and receive the same messages ending with ... !!! Rsync has not successfully finished. It is recommended that you keep !!! trying or that you use the 'emerge-webrsync' option if you are unable !!! to use rsync due to firewall or other restrictions. This should be a !!! temporary problem unless complications exist with your network !!! (and possibly your system's filesystem) configuration.
Ok, the problem is your PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS setting, that should probably be PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS="--exclude-from=/etc/portage/rsync_exclude". I'll see to improve the docs regarding the syntax for the new variables. Zac, what do you think about adding some conversion code in the ebuild (so people see the changes with etc-update)?
If I recollect correctly, the upgrade did notify me of some variable name changes, which I modified. PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS was one of them but I honestly can't remember if --exclude-from= was part of the variable.... Either way, thanks.
(In reply to comment #4) > Zac, what do you think about adding some conversion code in the ebuild (so > people see the changes with etc-update)? Offhand, the conversion seems like it would be more robust if implemented in python. Also, the ebuild could get really bloated with conversions like that.
