How download installed packages' sourcesfiles
Hello. I run into the follwoing problem. Using an internet connected at my lab makes me happy installing each package I need from source. At home I have only a very slow moem connection, but I need also the same packages (not precompiled, the sources) there. One idea was to fetch every source tarball of every installed port-package as reported in /var/db/pkg, burn /usr/ports/distfiles in conjunction with a up to date /usr/Ports-tree on one or two DVDs and the copy this at home on the disk (capacity is not an issue). Unforunately portupdate does not have a simple functionality to gather all tarballs from each installed port and its friends it depends on. Maybe someone of you has a similar limitation and can help.

Maybe someone of you has a similar limitation and can help. Try using make fetch-recursive from a port's directory to fetch the source tarballs for that port and it's dependencies. Note that you can also create packages from the installed ports and copy those over to another machine, and install them directly rather than recompiling everything.

The reason for this uncommon way is, my lab's computer is a i386 machine while at home I would like to run an amd64 based system without IA32 compatibility. Building packages on the source machine isn't an option. Thank you very much for that hint.
