Dear Gentooers, |

Is there a way to make portage install from a source code already |
| 4 |
downloaded on my harddisk? |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Eg. the upcoming KDE 2.2 upgrade, when an ebuild will be available: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
I have a modem connection at home, so using |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
emerge kdebase... would take ages to download (and the compile:)) |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
I could download the kde2.2 sources (after doing an emerge |
| 13 |
--pretend) at work with a high speed |
| 14 |
connection, take it home and direct portage to use a local harddisk |
| 15 |
as a source for compiling. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Or can I just simply put the source code files to a specified dir, |
| 18 |
wher portage will see it and use it automatically? |
| 19 |

Thanks in advance. -- Viktor |
