Yes, as instructed here: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Local_Mirror#Setting_up_the_mirror > Then, whatever you use to fetch distfiles for installation, it uses ftp or > http transport to fetch them. ... This page discusses local distfile servers: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Local_distfiles_cache using either of two approaches: - apt-cacher-ng - nginx Do they relate to the ftp and http you mention? I already have apache and don't want to install any more packages - it would seem that if nginx can serve the files, apache should be able to, too. I'm trying to configure it. This page: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Local_distfiles_cache#Setting_up_clients says I should put this line into /etc/portage/make.conf: http_proxy="http://distfilescache:3142 Is that the URL it'll send? So, all I'd have to do is have a virtual host responding to that port with a copy of /etc/portage/distfiles at its root? TIA, Tom > > -- > Regards, > Peter.
