#152 Webrsync fails if --no-spinner selected

[Johannes Buchner]

The preferences allow choosing emerge-webrsync instead of emerge --sync for the portage sync method. Some emerge arguments in the preferences ( --nospinner) are passed on to the emerge-webrsync command which are not supported by it. Subsequently it fails.

To reproduce:
1) Settings -> configure porthole
2) Global -> Sync method = emerge-webrsync
3) Emerge -> Emerge options -> select nospinner
4) apply configuration
5) Click WebRsync

000002 Usage: /usr/bin/emerge-webrsync [options]

The attached patch might fix this.

Sorry if this project is dead ... it could be useful.

well, it is not quite dead, just sadly neglected :( I keep getting too many other things to do so don't get enough time to get my brain back into working on porthole again.

Thanks, I'll get that applied
