Bug 43778 – emerge sync does not work when multiple RSYNC mirrors specified in make.conf

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: [OLD] Docs-user

[Description Kim Pedersen 2004-03-05 01:07:12 UTC]

If I specify multiple mirrors in the /etc/make.conf file e.g.

SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage
      rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage"

I get the following error when I run emerge sync:

77176 files to consider
mkdir "/root/rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage/metadata/timestamp.chk" failed: No such file or directory
rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at main.c(327)
!!! Rsync has reported....((some more))

The error does NOT occur if I only specify one RSYNC mirror.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Edit make.conf to have more than one mirror in the RSYNC variable
2. Run emerge sync
3. Get the error after retrieving file list

Actual Results:  
emerge sync stopped with an error

Expected Results:  
The downloaded filelist should have been synced with mine.

RSYNC can't be set more than 1 mirror.

[Comment 2 Kim Pedersen 2004-05-10 03:59:39 UTC]

The bug is not resolved as it is possible to set the sync variable with more than one value:

Erge, there is a bug.

That's a documentation bug then.

[Comment 4 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) 2004-05-10 09:56:34 UTC]

Not anymore *cough*" :)

Thanks for reporting. Fixed in CVS.
