Description Rolf Offermanns 2003-08-21 03:10:50 UTC 
This is with portage version: 2.0.48-r5


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge rsync



Actual Results:  
>>> starting rsync with rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage...
This is rsync[number].[country].gentoo.org.

Expected Results:  
I would expect it to work like it does if I give the ebuild file on the cmd-line:
emerge /usr/portage/net-misc/rsync/rsync-2.5.6-r2.ebuild
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 1) net-misc/rsync-2.5.6-r2 to /
[...]

To emerge the package rsync you must do:
    emerge net-misc/rsync
However, I do agree that 'emerge rsync' should not be synonymous with 'emerge sync' and that it should gradually be phased out to prevent this ambiguity.  This has been talked about a lot and I see no drawback to it as long as all docs are updated.

Take a look at bug #25934
Comment 3 Rolf Offermanns 2003-08-21 05:32:25 UTC 
Can someone mark this as a dup of 25934 then?
