I'm using the rsync.se.gentoo.org rotation, but since it only contain one server emerge --sync fails if that one is down. I would like a way to make portage fall back to another rotation when to first one is exhausted. I propose to add support for more than one entry in SYNC (or some other way to achieve the same function). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge --sync Actual Results: !!! Exhausted addresses for rsync.se.gentoo.org Expected Results: Fallback to another rsync rotation. A workaround is to just use a larger rotation such as rsync.europe.gentoo.org instead. But this is not optimal, some servers there are quite a lot slower than those close to where I live. I count at least 10 countries with just one server, so this feature would benefit users in all those countries.
Is this issue a duplicate of Bug 275854? I agree with this propose.
