The URL of the rsync mirror for Bulgaria is wrong and needs a fix. Correcting http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/mirrors.xml needs this patch: --- mirrors.xml 2007-03-18 23:45:03.000000000 -0500 +++ mirrors-new.xml 2007-03-19 07:29:18.185468429 -0500 @@ -187,7 +187,7 @@ <br> <a href="http://mirrors.ludost.net/gentoo/">marla.ludost.net (Bulgaria/http)</a><br> <a href="ftp://mirrors.ludost.net/gentoo/">marla.ludost.net (Bulgaria/ftp)</a><br> -<a href="rsync://mirrors.ludost.net/gentoo/">marla.ludost.net (Bulgaria/rsync)</a><br> +<a href="rsync://mirrors.ludost.net/gentoo-portage/">marla.ludost.net (Bulgaria/rsync)</a><br> </p> <p> <b>Bosnia and Herzegovina</b> Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Right-click on "marla.ludost.net (Bulgaria/rsync)" link on that page, choose "Copy link location" or equivalent, paste URL into your /etc/make.conf RSYNC variable, then try "emerge sync". Actual Results: receiving file list ... rsync: link_stat "/metadata/timestamp.chk" (in gentoo) failed: No such file or directory (2) 0 files to consider client: nothing to do: perhaps you need to specify some filenames or the --recursive option? rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(653) Expected Results: "emerge sync" running normally
Yassen, I'm sorry, but mirrors.xml is only for source mirrors, not the rsync mirrors. So that URL is indeed correct in the file. You can use mirrorselect for now, to pick an rsync mirror.
Ahh... didn't know. Sorry for bothering and thanks for your feedback.
