Same issue here
Comment 2 Allistar 2020-12-13 20:37:49 UTC
I experience this issue too. The mirrors I use are:

GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.swin.edu.au/gentoo ftp://ftp.planetmirror.com/pub/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.isu.edu.tw/pub/Linux/Gentoo ftp://ftp.ncnu.edu.tw/Linux/Gentoo/ "

The end of the "eix-sync" results is:

---
total size is 0  speedup is 0.00
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1816) [Receiver=3.2.3]
>>> Retrying...
!!! Exhausted addresses for rsync.au.gentoo.org

Action: sync for repo: gentoo, returned code = 1


 * emerge --sync failed
 * Time statistics:
    10 seconds for syncing
    21 seconds total

Comment 3 Allistar 2020-12-13 22:09:57 UTC
I can confirm that with my mirrors:

GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.swin.edu.au/gentoo ftp://ftp.planetmirror.com/pub/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.isu.edu.tw/pub/Linux/Gentoo ftp://ftp.ncnu.edu.tw/Linux/Gentoo/ "

This issue has been fixed. The metadata/timestamp.chk file is now there.
Comment 4 Iain Oliver 2020-12-14 18:26:32 UTC
I tried syncing again today and it worked correctly.
Comment 5 Alec Warner (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev Security 2020-12-14 18:47:03 UTC
Yeah we fixed this yesterday. A pam upgrade broke cron for a while :/
