This is neither recommended nor is it supported. The logic required to handle users specifying random directories within PORTDIR or any other dir is more complicated than useful. Please update make.conf and documentation according your view of user options. --sync Initiates a portage tree update with one of the rsync.gentoo.org mirrors. Note that any changes you have made to the portage tree will be erased. Except for special circumstances, this uses rsync to do the update. See make.conf(5)'s description of PORTDIR_OVERLAY for a method to avoid deletions. |
