Bug 159005 – app-portage/eix - request option for emerge-delta-webrsync

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Roberto Castagnola 2006-12-24 01:45:03 UTC]

Can you add an option to eix to "use emerge-delta-webrsync" instead of "emerge --sync"?
Since it depend on app-portage/emerge-delta-webrsync, you can use a patch file that will be applied only if a useflag is used.
As 2nd choice you can add a commented line that will be uncommented using sed command if a useflag is used: suppose to call '-x' the option and 'delta' the useflag,
in eix-sync you can add

### x) EMERGECMD=("emerge-delta-webrsync");;

while in ebuild

if use delta; then
    sed -i 's,### ,    ,' eix-sync
fi

I suppose -x would be enough. Use flags are ot supposed to be used inflationary

In eix' current svn trunk flag -W is added to eix-sync for emerge-delta-webrsync (in order to be consistent with -w for emerge-webrsync).
In addition, more general flags -c -C are added which allow using any other command or additional options. Also a flag -M is added for "strange" local "emerge --sync" commands.

Change is in the Christmas release (0.8.4).
