With the old FETCHCOMMAND syntax, the probably easiest way would have |
| 10 |
been to replace it to: |
| 11 |
FETCHCOMMAND="echo \${x} >> filesToDownload" |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
then start |
| 14 |
emerge --fetchonly packagesFromInstallManual gnome mozilla whateverYouWant |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
the use this file with wget: |
| 17 |
wget -i filesToDownload |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
and put all this files into /usr/portage/distfiles |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
this should work |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Unfortunately I don't know the new syntax for FETCHCOMMAND. |
