1 Hi,
2
3 when I use a -9999 type ebuild which accesses the source from a GIT
4 repository this is stored under /usr/portage/distfiles/git-src/$PN
5 where $PN is the package name.
6
7 But one cannot look at the source files since these are in compressed
8 form.
9 How can I setup a directory with the uncompressed sources.
10
11 I could use
12
13 ebuild <PATH TO ebuild file> unpack
14 and then look at /var/tmp/portage/..../work/....
15
16 but is there a direct way (or how does portage do this)?
17
18 Many thanks for a hint,
19 Helmut.
