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
