`emlop l -ss` doesn't show latest sync operations if using `emaint sync -a` instead of `emerge --sync` or `eix-sync` #41

❯ emlop -V
emlop 0.6.1   # Installed from Gentoo repo

To reproduce:

  1. Run # emerge --sync
  2. Run $ emlop l -ss -n 10
  3. Latest dates for each repo sync are correct
  4. Run # eix-sync
  5. Run $ emlop l -ss -n 10
  6. Latest dates for each repo sync are correct as well
  7. Run # emaint sync -a
  8. Run $ emlop l -ss -n 10 again
  9. Dates for each repo sync haven't changed, those from # eix-sync are still the latest

From Gentoo Wiki - Repository_synchronization:

The emerge --sync command is now only a compatibility command. Primary control of all sync operations has been moved from emerge to emaint, and emerge --sync now just calls the emaint sync module with the --auto option. This performs a sync on only those repositories with the auto-sync setting set to yes or true. If the auto-sync option is not set or is absent for the configured repositories, then emerge --sync may sync no repositories at all.

Edit: I'm actually getting the same behavior with qlop -s.

I wonder why none of the sync operations are parsed when using emaint.

Edit 2: Turns out # emaint sync -a doesn't write anything to /var/log/emerge.log, unlike # emerge --sync or # eix-sync.

Closing as this is irrelevant, there is nothing wrong with emlop.

Thanks for the heads up anyway, I wasn't aware of this issue. Bug comment suggests the fix shouldn't be too complex, but need to dive into portage.
