[ale] Mirrors

[Jeff Hubbs]

Robert -

It looks like you aren't quite set up as a Gentoo rsync mirror.  Here's
the command I'm using and the output I get:

kaga mnt # SYNC="rsync://ftp-mirror.internap.com/pub/gentoo/" emerge
sync
>>> starting rsync with rsync://64.74.207.33/pub/gentoo/...
>>> checking server timestamp ...
receiving file list ...
link_stat /gentoo//metadata/timestamp.chk : No such file or directory
0 files to consider
client: nothing to do: perhaps you need to specify some filenames or the
--recursive option?
rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at
main.c(653)
>>> retry ...

I looked at the URLs for the rsync mirrors from the Gentoo mirror list
(http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/mirrors.xml) and it seems like ending the
URL in "/gentoo" is common.  It seems, though, that that timestamp.chk
file is being looked for and not found.
