I remember seeing all those files going by when I sync. I just wasn't sure if that was the same thing as it used to be. Thanks for the info. Now to remember that in the future. :/ Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words!

Re: [gentoo-user] Offline Update
A few years ago, I used to run gentoo offline. When I needed to update it, I used to download the portage snapshot, and use the following script, based on Gentoo handbook: #!/bin/bash mv /usr/portage/distfiles /usr/ rm -rf /usr/portage/ tar xvjf $1 -C /usr mv /usr/distfiles /usr/portage/ emerge --metadata emerge --regen I also have another script to built a list of packages for download. You can take this list to a connected place, download the files and put it into /usr/portage/distfiles/. If useful, I can give it to you (but I don't know if it still works). 2012/9/16 Dale > Alan McKinnon wrote: > > On Sun, 16 Sep 2012 18:52:54 +0200 > > Silvio Siefke wrote: > > > >> Hello, > >> > >> can i copy the portage tree from my Notebook to the desktop PC? > > Yes.

I think that would take care of Bryan's concerns too. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words!

Maybe emerge knows to do this on the next run? I haven't tried this way, can someone confirm? One way that works is to uncomment the [gentoo-portage] entry in /etc/rsync.conf on your laptop, start rsyncd, then point your desktop to sync from your laptop with: SYNC="rsync://ip.of.laptop.here/gentoo-portage" in make.conf, and do an emerge --sync / eix-sync as normal. Cheers, Bryan

There is only one tree, not different one for different arches. So it does not matter where you get your tree from, only that you do have a copy. Do make sure that owners and permissions are set to something that will work on the destination after the copy. > > http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Networkless_Maintenance > > I use this as help, but must i load the portage latest or can copy > the tree from Notebook, because is up to date. > > > Thanks for help. > > > Regards > Silvio > -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
