There are alternative ways to update portage that are more suited to |
| 35 |
your dial-up connection. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
########### Extracted from |
| 38 |
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/153842 |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Download a snapshot (you can find one in any gentoo mirror), and |
| 41 |
download the md5sum, move it to $PORTAGE_TMPDIR/emerge-webrsync and |
| 42 |
run "emerge-webrsync", it will use those without downloading a new |
| 43 |
snapshot. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Or, you can manually do the sync yourself. Extract the |
| 46 |
portage-snapshot into a directory, and then use the following command: |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
rsync -av --progress --stats --delete --delete-after \ |
| 49 |
--exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/packages' \ |
| 50 |
--exclude='/local' . ${PORTDIR%%/} |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
Either define PORTDIR, or replace that with the location of your |
| 53 |
portage tree (/usr/portage by default). |
