Description Christine Bussman 2004-11-17 08:54:14 UTC

When I use the "Sync Portage Tree" button on the "Portage Tree" tab, it tries to emerge rsync rather than syncing the tree.  The behaviour is the same as when I type into the command line 'emerge rsync', so probably the issue is that in the code implementing this button emerge rsync is used rather than emerge sync. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to Portage Tree tab
2.hit Sync Portage Tree button
3.go to log tab and watch what is happening

Actual Results:  
the log tab showed that rsync had been reemerged 

Expected Results:  
synced the Portage tree (run the 'emerge sync' command) 

I believe that there is a quite easy fix to this:  wherever the functin for 
this particular button is coded, it needs to be changed from emerge rsync to 
emerge sync.   
 
This problem is easily worked around by syncing in the console before starting 
guitoo.

Please inform the author of Guitoo. We can't forward all and every bug in userspace applications. Only critical/security issues or a needed patch, if an app does not build.
