Description Patrick Lauer gentoo-dev 2018-12-09 08:16:31 UTC 
Running `emerge --sync` in a cronjob:

emerge --sync -q 2 > /dev/null || echo "Failed to emerge --sync"

This prints on failure:

rsync error: received SIGINT, SIGTERM, or SIGHUP (code 20) at rsync.c(642) [Receiver=3.1.3]
timed out
>>> Retrying...

Well now we'll never know which mirror it tried to connect to ...
I wonder if there's a reasonable way to make it quiet by default, but able to print the failed sync server's hostname/IP on stderr so that one can fix the issue.
