That's good news.

I think /var/edb/dep should be kept but I can't tell you for sure as I've never looked at it.

Hello Brett,
I had a 2.5 kernel tree sitting in /usr/src
DOH!
Should fit now. :) (i was over by 30 Mb) I also removed sun-j2jdk as all
the ebuilds seem to rely on blackdown.
What's the deal with /var/edb/dep? Should it be included?
I kept /usr/portage but the archives weren't clear with the dep dir.


Thanks again,

distfiles is where Gentoo keeps the tarballs it downloads.
It's updated if there is a new tarball or you are merging
a new package. If you want to do a backup check the
archives of this list for a discussion on what directories
can be skipped along with the pros and cons of skipping
them.

WOW that was quick!

When one emerge syncs is the entire /usr/portage except
distfiles restored?

Thanks,

You're welcome. I don't think you'll be able to do it.

Hello Mike, Brett
Thanks for the quick replies.

I'm backing up a box and wanted to see if I could get a
fully functional
system on a single CDR.

But could I conclude from the size of the source too?

TIA,
j

Or use find to get ones above/below a certain size.  Or
pipe the ls output to sort <G>.

If you're talking about the tarballs themselves, just do
a:
ls -lSr /usr/portage/distfiles
