[gentoo-user] files emerge will download
hi, Is it possible to get a list of the files an emerge command would download? I have a dial-up connection at home, so I can't download large files. However, I can download them at work, put them on my usb-stick, bring them home and put them on my /usr/portage/distfiles/, so I can emerge the packages I want. But (there's always a but) sometimes an emerge command downloads more than one file for each ebuild. So I would like to have a way to know exactly which files the emerge would need, would I do something like % emerge x Hope I made myself clear. Thanks in advance, MatÃas -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
