The output of emerge -f lists ALL known mirrors and SRCs configured on the machine for each distfile. So you really only need to grab the first one listed, which is usually gentoo.org. If the file is not there, it is most unlikely to be anywhere else, with the exception of fetch-restricted packages. Those you would have to download manually anyway. When I was forced to use this same method, I just used cut on the output, using space as the delimiter. This seldom failed. I would not trust wget -nc. It has all kinds of implications including what to do with differing timestamps. wget -c is better. It completes partial downloads. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

It's 5.5k. But the raw command lists several URLs for each package and it's gotta be ~200k. And if you read the article the wget command is meant to skip the other URLs as soon as one instance of the pkg has been downloaded: "With wget, just do: wget -i links.txt -nc Option -i tells wget to look inside links.txt for URLs of stuff to download, option -nc tells it not to download it twice or thrice once the file has been retrieved from a working URL." Am I missing something here?

He probably wants to update a computer that's got not internet connection. Hence, he will need to get a list of the URI's to download in (a), then fetch them from another computer (b), then put all the files on the $DISTDIR of the (a) computer. Emerge will pick them from there instead of looking for a way to download them. -- Jesús Guerrero

Hi group, Can someone explain to me how to generate a list of files to be fetched, eg -fuDN world, on a slow desktop that can be downloaded onto a netbook later? Maxim
