You need to find a gentoo box on an internet connection and use emerge to
fetch the sources then dump them in your distfiles directory and away you
go.

Hi,
You don't need *Gentoo* machine on the net. You can do an
emerge --fetch --pretend and it will show what you should download.
After it you can download needed files with a non-gentoo machine too.

HTH.

Yeah I would suggest doing a emerge <package> and then CTRL-C'ing it and
copying the url that it was attemping to download it from. That way you make
sure you get the right sources for your current portage tree.

Option 1. Find a gentoo box that actually connected to the net, then
build a binary package for the target machine.
Option 2. Read the sendmail ebuild, download the source files
accordingly, transfer them onto the target machine, and build them.

Both options are pretty simple, if you understand how the portage
system work, and where there files are stored.

This subject has been hacked to death at least twice in recent months.
The OP should search the archives.

but only for the first package in the list. Use --pretend --fetchonly
with emerge to get a list of the files it wants to download, as has been
covered many times on this list before. It will all be in the archives.
