also http://packages.gentoo.org/

or http://gentoo-portage.com/Newest

The problem with this is that it's difficult to determine which packages on one's own system have updated. One must check individually for each atom in world.


Harry:

I'm not sure if it's possible _without_ syncing, but you can `cp -a / usr/portage /usr/portage.orig`, sync, `emerge -pv world` and then move the original tree back if you want to.

It's not really clear why you're asking, or why you're unable to sync. If the PC has no internet connection, for instance, security updates are unimportant.

Stroller.
