I use /usr/bin/ebuild for this, emege run this when building, just run the build up to the prepare function so patches are applied if any, and look in /var/tmp/portage/cat/pkg/work/ for the 'prepared' sources. (As root or as the portage user) # ebuild $PORTDIR/cat/pkg/pkg-00.ebuild prepare I have this alias in my bashrc for using the ebuild command easily. alias=" sudo -u portage ebuild "
