In this words:
<p>
You need to define the name of the file that contains the exclude patterns in
the <c>--exclude-from</c> variable in your <path>/etc/portage/make.conf</path>.
</p>

<pre caption="Defining the exclude file in /etc/portage/make.conf">
PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS="--exclude-from=/etc/portage/rsync_excludes"
</pre>

User may think, that --exclude-from is variable. But it is not. The variable is PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS and --exclude-from is just a flag, which sent to rsync when it is run

Reproducible: Always
