eix-sync
eix-sync can run emerge --regen after syncing ebuild repositories:
FILE
/etc/eix-sync.conf# Sync all ebuild repositories * # Regenerate ebuild repository metadata @emerge --regen || true
eix-update
eix-update can utilize the metadata cache generated by emerge --regen for a speedup and better accuracy. To enable this, set the OVERLAY_CACHE_METHOD to assign in /etc/eixrc/01-cache.
