Ok, Here goes... |

How large is the package archive for gentoo, assuming a full copy of the |
5 |
portage tree, and all of the source tarballs in the distfiles directory |
6 |
of the average server? |

|

Would it be possible to draw down the whole archive all in one shot |
9 |
using wget or similar, dump it all into a directory on the hard drive, |
10 |
and direct portage there for the distribution files? |
11 |
|
12 |
I know this would basically be equivelent to making a local mirror of |
13 |
the distrservers, and I would have to make sure that my portage tree |
14 |
matches up to the files actually on the hard drive. ^^ What other |
15 |
concerns would I need to look at at this point. :P |
