The output of the recent portage sync looks suspicious. Specifically, all profiles from 2Q-2005 up to 1Q-2012 have been updated. This doesn't happen in a usual sync of the portage tree. My concern is that the mirror(s) may have been compromised, and that the portage tree available on this mirror(s) is not the official portage tree, i.e. it may include wrong Manifest files and wrong SRC_URI paths in ebuilds. Other people have encountered the above problem as well. See, for example, http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-911096.html. Previous `emerge --sync` was done on Friday, January 27th, 2012. Suspicious `portage --sync` was done on Friday, February 3rd, 2012. Would you confirm if the tree was compromised or the 'suspicious' update is what should have happened? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run `emerge --sync` on a system with a week-old portage tree (or older). 2. Observe that all profiles in the range 2Q-2005 ... 1Q-2012 have been updated. Actual Results: All profiles in the range 2Q-2005 ... 1Q-2012 have been updated. Expected Results: Only recent (1Q-2012) profile is updated.

dev-portage, infra, anything to this? Thanks, guys...
(In reply to comment #0) > All profiles in the range 2Q-2005 ... 1Q-2012 have been updated. No, not really. A modification to 2Q-2005 will cause portage to process updates for all quarters thereafter, since it's possible for earlier moves to affect the results of later moves. It's been like this for about a year now: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=d055cc9b6e46f37193841ef89843493e0d61ee7b
This behavior is an effect of the fix I applied for bug 401633. The master tree copy was completely redone, thus the file timestamps were updated, so portage ran the updates again. Nothing points to a compromise here.
Thanks!
