 Posted: Sun May 08, 2005 5:45 pm Post subject: [solved] emerge without internet |
 |
|
I'm new to Gentoo and I just installed it. Everything worked fine, but I wander if it possible to use emerge without an Internet connection.
With SuSE, Mandrake and Debian I can tell YaST, DrakConf and apt-get to use many different type of sources: URL's, local directories, DVD, CDROM etc.
At home I don't have Internet, but with the others distros this is not a problem.

Emerge normally gets its packages from the net. If you want to emerge something without network, you'll need to put the necessary files in /usr/portage/distfiles first

Then you have the wrong version or you are missing files for dependencies. BTW binary packages, like those on the packages cd should go in /usr/portage/packages/All and need to be emerge with -k or -K otherwise emerge will try to download the source package instead of using the binary package.

I solved the problem.
My installation put the packages sources in "/portage/distfiles" but "/etc/make.conf" pointed to /usr/portage/distfiles !!!
Thanks for the hint. |
