The US rsync server hosted by Rackspace Technology appears to be out of date somewhat: # emerge --sync >>> Syncing repository 'gentoo' into '/usr/portage'... >>> Starting rsync with rsync://rsync31.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage/... >>> Checking server timestamp ... receiving incremental file list timestamp.chk Number of files: 1 (reg: 1) Number of created files: 0 Number of regular files transferred: 1 Total file size: 32 bytes Total transferred file size: 32 bytes Literal data: 32 bytes Matched data: 0 bytes File list size: 33 File list generation time: 0.001 seconds File list transfer time: 0.000 seconds Total bytes sent: 109 Total bytes received: 134 sent 109 bytes received 134 bytes 162.00 bytes/sec total size is 32 speedup is 0.13 >>> >>> SERVER OUT OF DATE: rsync://rsync31.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage/ >>> >>> In order to force sync, remove '/usr/portage/metadata/timestamp.chk'. >>> >>> Retrying... !!!

Lather, rinse, repeat. So there may be a deeper issue going on. Is there any monitoring on these mirrors to track their sync status history or something to see if it's still be an on-going issue or not? Or at least, pinged Rackspace to go and poke the thing with a stick?
