The whole "rsync" to "sync" mapping should be IMHO dropped...

I think the command should be changed to something like portage-update , so the emerge command shouldn't be used for that.

Comment 3 nachtklavier 2003-12-04 04:32:24 UTC

mmh, reading the second comment, i'm not sure if i understand it correctly. i just want to see what happens when i'm updating the package "rsync"... so i think emerge gets confused by whatever and thinks i want to sync something.

yep, that is also what i mean.
But then what if there is added a package called sync, then that one wouldn't work any longer.
That is why I surgest that the emerge command should not be used for updating the portage tree.
