I have PORTAGE_RSYNC_RETRIES = 1 in my /etc/make.conf, and every time I run euse I get a variable number of warnings, thus: /etc/make.conf: line 46: PORTAGE_RSYNC_RETRIES: command not found Setting retries to 1 is sensible when the rsync server is on the local Ethernet segment; if the first attempt fails, so will all the rest until the server is fixed.

Should be: PORTAGE_RSYNC_RETRIES=1
(In reply to comment #2) > Should be: > > PORTAGE_RSYNC_RETRIES=1 Ah. So it should. Apologies for the noise.
