After: Compressing Portage snapshot tarball... Running command "tar cjf /var/tmp/catalyst/snapshots/portage-20040630.tar.bz2 -C /var/tmp/catalyst/tmp/portage-20040630 portage" Cleaning up... snapshot: complete! The portage tree /var/tmp/catalyst/tmp/portage-20040630 still exists.
this is expected behavior. we don't clean it so that next time around, rsync doesn't have to recopy the entire tree, it just has to copy the changes. this method is *much* more efficient
