The portage user guide talks about this. Basically do |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
rsync -avz rsync://cvs.gentoo.org/gentoo-x86-portage/* /usr/portage |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
It doesn't affect already installed packages in any way whatsoever. |
| 17 |
All it does it update your portage area. Then you can do ebuilds or |
| 18 |
whatever and update whatever packages you want to update. |
