there appears to be a problem with the emerge-webrsync command on 2 different computers I am getting: ~ # emerge-webrsync Fetching most recent snapshot ...

(In reply to comment #0) > 20080430 snapshot was not found > /usr/sbin/emerge-webrsync: warning: portage content is newer than available > snapshots (use --revert option to overide) Please post emerge --info output. It should include a "Timestamp of tree" field which corresponds to the value contained in the /usr/portage/metadata/timestamp.chk file. The message that you got implies that downloading the snapshot would be pointless. It's possible that there is a bug in the way that this calculation is done.
on a side note I removed the timestamp files and it will sync the one time giving the error for the first 2 times and then go back to the previous date and then it will want the current dates portage.. it is a strange issue to be doing on 2 different systems.

Created attachment 151449 [details, diff] adjust date calculations If this patch is saved as /tmp/webrsync_date.patch then it can be applied as follows: patch /usr/lib/portage/bin/emerge-webrsync /tmp/webrsync_date.patch
well that does no good on the patch that is supplied. it does not go through and give the errors before but still says my portage is newer. I deleted all the timestamp files and did an emerge-webrsycn and it did this then re did it to verify and still gives the error portage content is newer than available snapshot. so what is the real fix here.. metadata # emerge-webrsync Fetching most recent snapshot ...

well looks like this gets bumped to the curb. the fix/patch you supplied lasted one day.. after the emerge of the latest portage and emerge -uDv world it is back to normal..as i said before..
Bump.. Come on... fix the portage. every time you emerge the latest portage it puts the emerge-webrsync back to the orginal.. and the fix supplied does nothing but remove the echos of it not being able to locate the latest portage by the date.
It will be released in portage-2.1.5_rc7 later today. You can get it from viewcvs if you want to test it: http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/portage/main/branches/2.1.2/bin/emerge-webrsync?rev=10129
Thanks looks like that did the trick. Keep up the good work.
This is fixed in 2.1.5_rc7.
