Subject: [gentoo-dev] Emerge from a local harddisk
Date: Sat Jul 21 03:20:03 2001	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20010721102053.A1362@Tigger> (raw)

Dear Gentooers,

Is there a way to make portage install from a source code already
downloaded on my harddisk?

Eg. the upcoming KDE 2.2 upgrade, when an ebuild will be available:

I have a modem connection at home, so using 

emerge kdebase... would take ages to download (and the compile:))

I could download the kde2.2 sources (after doing an emerge
--pretend) at work with a high speed
connection, take it home and direct portage to use a local harddisk
as a source for compiling.

Or can I just simply put the source code files to a specified dir,
wher portage will see it and use it automatically?

Thanks in advance. -- Viktor
