ftp://ftp.x.org/pub/individual/ |

|

and then mirror "lib/", "doc/",... |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Example with lftp + zsh (emerge zsh if not yet installed): |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
$ cd |
| 14 |
$ mkdir xorg; cd xorg |
| 15 |
$ lftp ftp.x.org |
| 16 |
> cd pub/individual |
| 17 |

# su |
| 22 |
# zsh |
| 23 |
# for B (**/*.bz2)(cp $B /usr/portage/distfiles/) |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Then it's OK. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
But one question. Is not there any way to get portage try another |
| 28 |
source? Why does portage try only freedesktop.org server? It appears |
| 29 |
that ftp.x.org is an up mirror: why not use it too? |
