 Posted: Sun Aug 01, 2004 11:16 am Post subject: HOWTO Use backup distfiles |
 |
|
Suppose you had backed up your distfiles content to seperate CDs or something. You could simply get needed files from them instead of fetching from internet just because portage doesn't have support for multiple distfiles path.
Run
| Code: |
emerge -fp pacakge 2> list
|
Then do a
| Code: |
cat list | ./putdist.py
|
for copying the files to your DISTDIR
Here's the script (putdist.py)
ChangeLog:
* bug: last file not processed - fixed.
| Code: |
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
import os
distdir = '/usr/portage/distfiles'
backups = ['/mnt/cdrom', '/mnt/cdrom1']
cached = 0
downloads = 0
for url in sys.stdin.readlines():
# last line contains some stupid characters
ig_index = url.find(chr(033))
if ig_index != -1:
url = url[:ig_index]
url = url.strip()
if url == "": continue
filename = url.split('/')[-1]
target = os.path.join(distdir, filename)
for bdir in backups:
source = os.path.join(bdir, filename)
sexists = os.path.exists(source)
texists = os.path.exists(target)
if not texists and sexists:
print 'Copying', filename, 'from', bdir
os.system('cp %s %s' % (source, target) )
cached = cached + 1
elif not texists:
downloads = downloads + 1
print cached, 'files cached'
print downloads, 'files need to be downloaded'
