Fei This cached packages as you call them are termed distfiles (distfiles.gentoo.org) and located in /usr/portage/distfiles because if you want to re-emerge a package you won't need to download it again. If you run out of diskspace, just mount /usr/portage/distfiles on another partition or harddisk. Best Regards Jay -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Do you know what I should do to remove all the cached source code packages? Fei Hey! See my e-mail or Boyed Stephen Smith Jr.'s mail. Don't use USE=blabla emerge package or ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=.., because these settings are just temporary and when will only be applied to this one emerge. I haven't used -k (--usepkg) yet however the man page tells me that -k means, that precompiled packages should be used. So your USE flag does not take any effect. Btw.: You shouldn't say that this problem is fixed as you just have used something precompiled and preconfigured. You should better digg deeper into emerge and USE flags. Otherwise you will never understand portage which is _essential_ for understanding and using Gentoo Linux. This is just and advice... Best Regards Jay -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

You argument '-update' is equivalent to '-u -p -d -a -t -e', which includes (among other things) the -e (--emptytree) flag, forcing emerge to pretend you have no packages installed. Haha. Nice catch! -update == --update --pretend --debug --ask --tree --emptytree All of those options are valid and with --debug and --emptytree that's going to give a scary amount of output... -- Bo Andresen pgprFcOuZvjbd.pgp Description: PGP signature

Fei you can delete /usr/portage/distfiles/* if you want to; i think the worst thing to come of it would be having to redownload the sources for each subsequent emerge of the same software.
