Hi, Is there a possibility to emerge a package without rsync? I have a quite new inststallation and use to install packages if i need them.
There should be a way to save a package to /usr/portage/distfiles via (say) ftp and use this instead of downloading it during emerge. If I get it right this is possible only for binary packages. I've tied this last week when there was the problems with CUPS. I ftp-ed the needed package to /usr/portage/distfiles and ... emerge ... started a new (unsuccessful) download. I'm behind a firewall at work. Just now I use to write down the package and emerge it after work at home. Sometimes I can't wait to tomorrow.
