 |
|
Dear gentoos: I have a long list of packages from another system, that I would like to mirror. This list comes from equery, so it has a nice mix of directory/names-version-sometimes-more-dashes. I can hand-edit this, but was wondering whether portage can grok such a long list, given an appropriate switch on the command line. anyone know?
sincerely,
/iaw

| Yes, if the package names are all formatted correctly. |

welll, they do come out of an "equery --list" followed by deletion of the first line. but this is not digestible.
