Hi,

when I use a -9999 type ebuild which accesses the source from a GIT 
repository this is stored under /usr/portage/distfiles/git-src/$PN
where $PN is the package name.

But one cannot look at the source files since these are in compressed 
form.
How can I setup a directory with the uncompressed sources.

I could use

ebuild <PATH TO ebuild file> unpack
and then look at /var/tmp/portage/..../work/....

but is there a direct way (or how does portage do this)?

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut.
