Description Maros Zubko 2015-06-19 13:13:33 UTC

When using new portage configuration layout related to repositories:

/etc/portage/repos.d/*.conf instead of /etc/portage/make.conf

when one set the sync-type to websync the following sync-uri attribute is ignored.

Both "emerge-webrsync" and "emaint sync -a" still using old GENTOO_MIRRORS variable from make.conf instead of "sync-uri" from repos.d directory.

I dont know if it works as designed or if it's a bug, but I think/hope the newly announced way of configuring the repositories sync is meant to keep all relevant configuration on one place and I don't see why websync should be an exception.

The news item refers to /etc/portage/repos.conf/* (not /etc/portage/repos.d/*.conf).

Maybe the problem is simply that you have your files in the wrong directory?

Comment 2 Maros Zubko 2015-06-21 07:23:35 UTC

I put mistakenly wrong directory name in the Bug description, but in reality I'm using for sure /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf file.

"sync-type" directive is taked into consideration correctly when I use "emaint sync", but "sync-uri" placed in the same file is ignored when "sync-type = websync".

On the other hand when using "sync-type = rsync", then "sync-uri" is used correctly.

with sync-type = websync or webrsync, it is still using the original emerge-webrsync command.  It uses the mirror system which is configured in make.conf, so, yes, it does ignore the sync-uri so far.

If you recall or look at the instructions for the emerge-webrsync setup.  It states to leave the sync-type and sync-uri fields empty.  To use it with teh webrsync module, you of course must fill in sync-type.

The future plan is to re-write the emerge-webrsync command into a native python sync module.  Currently it is just a wrapper which runs the emerge-webrsync command.
