[gentoo-dev] Sources for the entire OS

[gentoo-dev] Sources for the entire OS

[Kaarthik Sivakumar]

Hi

I am not sure if this is the right list. -dev is for developers in
general or just developers working ON gentoo? If this is the wrong list
please point me to the right one. Thanks.

Is there a way to get the entire sources for all of the base OS, not
just the kernel? Like in the BSDs, where under /usr/src you have the
entire source for the entire OS that you can build and install and you
will have a full OS. On my gentoo box, under /usr/src I only have the
linux kernel sources. Thanks.

you can get the source *tarballs* placed into /usr/portage/distfiles by
doing something like "emerge -e world -f".

emerge -ef system will fetch tarballs for just the base system also.
This may be closer to what you're looking for.

But that would give me the source tarballs for *all* the packages. I
guess I just want sources for stuff like glibc, utils like find, grep,
etc which tend to form the base OS. I could do that on a per-package
basis, like 'emerge glibc -f', etc but I was hoping for a meta-port (I
am not sure what it is called here) that has all of this. (I am still
learning how to use portage and its various utilities; I am a gentoo
user since about 4 days now, coming from FreeBSD).

Ah! This seems like it. Thanks, I will try it out.

like Tom said, your best bet is `emerge system -ef`

In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, 'Let there be
Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better.
