I'm not sure if this is macos specific, but the only portage .51_pre13 only shows the following output during emerge sync: 1126 100% 0.00kB/s 0:00:00 560 100% 0.00kB/s 0:00:00 170 100% 0.00kB/s 0:00:00 735 100% 0.00kB/s 0:00:00 1096 100% 0.00kB/s 0:00:00 176 100% 0.00kB/s 0:00:00 729 100% 0.00kB/s 0:00:00 1024 100% 0.00kB/s 0:00:00 298 100% 0.00kB/s 0:00:00 Is this a new feature or a macos bug?
that output is from rsync anyway.
Darwin 8 is supposed to have a more recent rsync that fixes third roblem. Panther has rsync version 2.5.7, maybe a simple versioncheck could fix this problem?
Mac OS X 10.3 with the latest update has rsync 2.6.2 and I can see the file names during emerge sync (so it is not a problem anymore?).
This is solved by getting the latest updates from Apple. Specifically, the updates referred to as Security Update 2004-09-07" (1.1) is the update containing this newer version of rsync. Changing bug resolution to UPSTREAM.
