I did an "emerge sync" on Apr 29, 2005 20:55:20 UTC and got updates. THe next morning all my "emerge sync" failed with the following message : >>> Timestamps on the server and in the local repository are the same. >>> Cancelling all further sync action. You are already up to date. My /usr/portage/metadata/timestamp file reads "Fri Apr 29 17:39:06 UTC 2005". I tried to sync several times with SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" and SYNC="rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" but got the same message. My guess is the updates are not getting to the mirrors, or the timestamp files are not updated. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Hi there, I got the same issue: cat timestamp Fri Apr 29 17:39:06 UTC 2005 And I bet Bertrand and I didn't sync the exact same second yesterday :-) I tried rsync.informatik.rwth-aachen.de, raptor.gentoo.org, crane.gentoo.org and cockatoo.gentoo.org. Seems like something went a little wrong :-) Cheers Sebastian
Ah, it's working again. I was able to sync now. cat /usr/portage/metadata/timestamp Sat Apr 30 18:07:11 UTC 2005 Great! Thanks to whoever fixed it. Cheers Sebastian
seems like the mirror fixed itself. closing ;)
