[gentoo-dev] feature request: emerge --fetchonly

[Peter Kadau]

hi !

i'd like to fetch in one swoop.
this is extremely nice when you have a dialup-connection.

so calculating the deps and fetch every source needed, is what i mean.
proposal: --fetchonly option to emerge.

i'v browsed through portage.py, especially doebuild, but
unfortunately, couldn't really figure out how to get my hands on
the deps - once i have the list, the rest should be trivial.
(along the lines of

 for mypkg in mydeplist:
      spawn("/usr/bin/ebuild.sh fetch")

 or something like that.)

thanks in advance for any hints
ciao
peter
