One way to get a known mirror is to do this command: emerge -fp |
| 11 |
<package name> It will give you a list of mirrors that should have the |
| 12 |
file and the address for it too. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
If you want to, you can also go to gentoo.org and click the link on the |
| 15 |
left under Resources for Mirrors. Some of the mirrors are fairly easy |
| 16 |
to figure out which is closest to you. Pick a close one if you can. |
| 17 |
When you click on the mirror you have picked, click distfiles. A list |
| 18 |
should come up of all the files that are available. Pick the one you |
| 19 |
need and click on it. That should start the download. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
If it tries to open it instead of downloading it as a file, try right |
| 22 |
clicking and select save target as. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
If you don't see the exact one you need, go back and pick another |
| 25 |
mirror. It may not have gotten the file if it was recently added. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
After that, copy it to the distfiles directory and try to emerge your |
| 28 |
package. |
