You could do 'eupdatedb' if you use esearch (I know I do). Sybren -- The problem with the world is stupidity. Not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself? |

Untarring an archiving in your /usr/portage followed by emerge --metadata would probably work but it will not clean up, i.e. removed ebuilds will not be removed from your box. Doing the same as emerge-webrsync would be the easiest option IMHO. Get the latest portage snapshot (16 MB) from a mirror and drop it into a temp dir on your netless box, then run the following commands (mind the snapshot file name): tar jxf portage-20041220.tar.bz2 chown -R 0:0 portage cd portage rsync -av --progress --stats --delete --delete-after \ --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/packages' \ --exclude='/local' . /usr/portage cd .. emerge metadata rm -rf portage portage-20041220.tar.bz2 Hth |

I copy /usr/portage using rsync, then I do "emerge metadata" for all my PCs except the one that actually does the "emerge sync" from the internet. > Anything else to copy? As far as I know - no.

Ok. This is exactly what I need. BTW, I was not very clear about what I needed! English is not my best skill :-( . In fact I have a PC with internet. I can "emerge sync" there. What I need is to replicate the situation on the other PC (no internet). So, I can tar gz /usr/portage, replace /usr/portage in the other PC and run emerge metadata. The other PC is not connected, not even close, to the first one. Thank you. |
