Please don't draw your attention to 404 errors in output - they are shown because those snapshots was already downloaded. Is there any workaround for this or fix? I'm trying to use autofs for /usr/portage mounting, so /usr/portage points to /mnt/auto/portage . emerge itself works well I think.
Hmm. Just dug deeper and looks that's the tarsync fault.
Looks like that's an easy fix in main.c of tarsync online 232. But not for me :) Can somebody help me with a patch?
Instead of using a symlink, you can set PORTDIR in make.conf to be any directory that you want. (In reply to comment #2) > Looks like that's an easy fix in main.c of tarsync online 232.

Works with PORTDIR set. actualy I knew about that setting, but I always try to use thing in 'standard' way to avoid any troubles. Anyway I think the author could fix the problem with symlink in case he get some spare time. Thanks.
I'm experiencing the same problem, but my /usr/portage isn't a symlink, its a mountpoint.
I have the same problem, any news on this?

Any news on this?
Per comment #7 looks like maintainer cannot reproduce, is anybody still suffering this with 0.2.1-r1 and fully updated system?
