It is there, even, if you don't see it ... ;-) |

"emerge system" should not download 620 MB (i think, it was not the case |
| 11 |
while i installed it). For the rest, you may want to put together a list |
| 12 |
of "wanted packages" and do a "emerge --fetchonly <list of packages>". |
| 13 |
That will get the packages and put the sources in the "distfiles" directory. |
| 14 |
Every "emerge <package-name>" should then get the sources from this direc- |
| 15 |
tory (as far as the sources will be found there and the checksum ist ok). |

You may try to use the name of the directory containig a package rather |
| 23 |
than the .ebuild file. This works for me in most cases and will emerge |
| 24 |
the newest package from that directory that is not masked out and which |
| 25 |
is complete (including digest-file). |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Btw.: I noticed, that the digest-file for cdrecord is missing since |
| 28 |
several weeks. Someone should build a digest-file (as i did for my |
| 29 |
private installation to work around this problem ;-) ). |

powertweak is AFAIK masked out |

The digest seems to be missing. If you really want to build it, you may |
| 39 |
create a digest-file for yourself (but you have to know, that this will |
| 40 |
disable the chance to see unwanted modifications to the source ...). |

I don't really remember, but maybe this file would be downloaded from |
| 45 |
the "original location" and that failed for you ... In such cases, i |
| 46 |
will try to find a mirror which holds this file, get it from there and |
| 47 |
put the file in /usr/portage/distributions. "emerge <package>" should |
| 48 |
then try to use the sourcefile from there instead of downloading it ... |

maybe masked out (i didn't try to build it for a longer time) |

I don't remeber, if i created a digest for myself, but i'm shure, that |
| 57 |
i compiled this one some time ago ... |

There will be a change in handling of jdk. Maybe the build will work, |
| 62 |
if you first try to install a jdk-version ... |

You may try to emerge a jdk first. |

| 86 |
IIRC is tcl-tk-8.4.2 maked out because of compatibility-problems with |
| 87 |
some other packages (i don't really remember about it, but i think, i read |
| 88 |
something on this list). |
| 89 |

Hope, that helps you to install some of these packages. |
