As of Portage 2.0.49, the script "dl-list.sh" no longer works (well) for getting a list of download URLs, and the old "grep '://'" method doesn't work either, since emerge -pf now outputs two separate outputs: the URLs to standard error (unformatted, just in a jumble, even the URLs for files you already have) and the src_uri checks of already gotten files to standard output.

Since that script is life for anyone who doesn't have a network connection on their Gentoo PC, I was at a loss, and decided to write my own, since I'm learning (this actually used about 95% of what I'd just learned about *nix utilities) so I wrote a script I call "epack" on my system. All you have to do is type "epack packagename >> package.lst" or something of the sort to allow it to get all the URLs for files you still need and place them in package.lst.

epack -UD world also works. (For less confusion with the script, I'd suggest -UuD world)

Here we go:
Code:
#!/bin/bash

urls=`mktemp`   # urls go here
md5=`mktemp`   # src_uri's go here
files=`mktemp`   # actual filenames here
urls2=`mktemp`   # we swap between them with sed...

# Get the files
emerge -fp $@ >/dev/null >$md5 2>$urls

# Prepare the URLs:
grep '://' $urls | xargs -n1 echo | uniq > $urls2
cp $urls2 $urls > /dev/null

# Now prepare the files that we already have:
# /'s screw up sed and are a clear indicator of a non-file
cat $md5 | sed -e '1 d' -e '/\// d' > $files
cp $files $md5 > /dev/null
# And every file in Portage has a . in it somewhere:
cat $md5 | xargs -n1 echo | grep '\.' | uniq > $files
cp $files $md5 > /dev/null

# Delete the URLs for files we already have.
for i in `cat $md5`; do
   cat $urls | sed "/"$i"/ d" > $urls2
   cp $urls2 $urls > /dev/null
done

# Now print the URLs.
cat $urls

# And remove the files.
rm -f $urls $urls2 $md5 $files


It's not as efficient as it could be, and after every run of the program it leaves a little garbage that wget complains about, but it works really well :)

epack -e world is pretty fast on my system even with 350 packages installed... so there you go :)

i really like your script and i think it's very useful and i wanted to share a php version of it i made in my spare time.
to use just chmod +x it and execute it or php emerge_list whatever.
Code:
#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
# emerge_list : a script by OneOfOne (OneOfOne{at}limitlessfx{dot}com)
# to generate a list of files that needs to by downloaded for a package, mainly for dialup users.
# this needs >=php-4.3.2 (should work on lower versions but i haven't tried).
# use :
# chmod +x emerge_list && ./emerge_list blah blah blah -emerge_arg OR
# php emerge_list blah blah blah -emerge_arg
# ./emerge_list package > wget_list
# wget -c -i wget_list //you MUST add -c to wget or it'll redownload the file from each mirror.
#ps you need "register_argc_argv = On" in php.ini
$exit ="You must supply atleast 1 valid arg.\n";
if($argc > 1){
   unset($argv[0]);
   $args = trim(join(" ", $argv));
   if($args){
      $eo = trim(str_replace("\n", "", shell_exec("emerge -fp $args 2>&1 >/dev/null")));
      $old_eo = explode(" ", $eo);
      foreach($old_eo as $str){
         if(strpos($str,"http://")!==FALSE || strpos($str,"ftp://")!==FALSE)
            print($str."\n");
      }
      $exit="";
   }
}
exit($exit);
?>


peace

Many hours of time have been wasted with dl-list.sh
I appreciate your time.
THANK YOU!
