Yes, if you download a portage-<timestamp>.tar.bz2 file and uncompress |
| 3 |
it on /usr/portage, it has the same effect as emerge --sync. Actually, |
| 4 |
to be more precise, the same effect as emerge-webrsync. Unforunately, |
| 5 |
this consumes more bandwidth, since it downloads ebuilds you don't |
| 6 |
need to update as well. But, in a proxy enviroment that doesn't allow |
| 7 |
rsync, it is the only choice you have. |

Portage doesn't really care how you download the source packages, as |
| 11 |
long as they have the same md5sum. So, if you download them separetely |
| 12 |
and move them to /usr/portage/distfiles, you should be fine. |
