Try
#> emerge net-misc/rsync grub xprint coreutils samba gaim -pvu

For rsync you need to specify it either with its category or use a specific
ebuild. Otherwise emerge will interpret as command to synchronize the
portage tree.

I can remember having read about this somewhere in the docs, but don't
recall where that was. Maybe in the description for a local rsync mirror.

Does *anybody* still "emerge rsync"? It's deprecated in 2.0.51, but it'd be
great to be able to skip the deprecation step and just remove it.

emerge rsync? emerge sync?

Now, all I use is 'esync' (found in esearch). Takes longer, but when its
done, it displays a list of changed packages from the last esync, and then
the very quickly searchable esearch db is up to date.

You could also put a message in the rsync ebuild saying that if they meant
to update the ebuilds, they need to use 'emerge sync'.

reason for it to remain :)

uh.. so how do you keep portage upto date? (i must be out of the loop
something shocking 0.o )

We manually compare the files. Where have you been!?

On another note, maybe we should put something in simular to -- ?

emerge sync or emerge --sync

Of course, it is entirely possible that a "sync" package could be added to the
tree and we'd be back to square one. Emerge's options will be standardized
one day, but for the moment "rsync" is the only problem option.
