But that would give me the source tarballs for *all* the packages. I |
| 21 |
guess I just want sources for stuff like glibc, utils like find, grep, |
| 22 |
etc which tend to form the base OS. I could do that on a per-package |
| 23 |
basis, like 'emerge glibc -f', etc but I was hoping for a meta-port (I |
| 24 |
am not sure what it is called here) that has all of this. (I am still |
| 25 |
learning how to use portage and its various utilities; I am a gentoo |
| 26 |
user since about 4 days now, coming from FreeBSD). |
