hi all,

i installed gentoo in january this year on my box and i'm very happy with
it. because i don't have internet access at home i still have portage
dating january the 18th or about.

is there an easy way to update portage without internet access??

when i need to install a new package i do a:

emerge --fetchonly --pretend --verbose <packagename>

and download the necessary files at work. that's no problem, but how to
do that with portage?

one idea would be to download the portage-snapshot and simply untar it on
my box.

would this be a propper way ?? don't want to kill anything on my box
