 |
|
Hi. I wanted to know if it's possible to emerge -u world without the internet. So far I've printed out the results of emerge -up world. I went to http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo/distfiles. But I'm not finding the exact versions I want. The version numbers are there but there are not -r1 -r2 -r3 corresponding to the ones printed by emerge -up world. Any advice?

The -r1, -r2 etc correspond to the different versions of the ebuild. They'll all use the same version of the source, but will do something different with the compilation. They might use some different flags, apply some different patchs...
HTH,

if you just want a list containing all the files "emerge -u world" needs, try this:
| Code: |
FETCHCOMMAND="echo \${URI} >> /tmp/distfiles" emerge -uf world
|
this will spit out many error messages and in the end you have a list of all the files you need in /tmp/distfiles. |
