Hi all. I am tring to set a IPv6 capable rsync mirror, but every server I choose from the official list gives me this error while running rsync: rsync: change_dir "/metadata" (in gentoo) failed: No such file or directory (2) Sometimes the dir changes from "/metadata" to "gentoo/metadata". This are the relevant part of my make.conf with the last server i tried: SYNC="rsync://trumpetti.atm.tut.fi/gentoo" PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS="-6" And this is the beginning of the eix-sync output: * Running emerge --sync >>> Starting rsync with rsync://[2001:708:310:54::2]/gentoo... >>> Checking server timestamp ...

Set a IPv6 rsync mirror 2. Set -6 as rsync extra option 3. Run eix-sync
The rsync mirror specified in this bug seems to work properly http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215924
(In reply to comment #0) > SYNC="rsync://trumpetti.atm.tut.fi/gentoo" You are trying to rsync all the distfiles instead of the portage tree. Switch "gentoo" to "gentoo-portage"
