I use the qmerge applet from portage-utils to grab the pkgs to the localhost then emerge -Kpv $pkg. So on a fresh install I do something like wget hardened-tarball.tbz2 unpack emerge portage-utils set binhost qmerge -f $(qlist -IC) emerge -C pam-login emerge -Ke system otherwise I just qmerge -f $pkg ; emerge -Kpv $pkg The qmerge applet requires the use of the genpkgindex util on the remote bin repo. I know pkgcore is going to start using this same format for it's remote bin repo stuff. I talked with Zac (zmedico) last week about portage supporting it also. I think he is keen on it but the tool will need love on solving the $PN conflicts. Between us 3 we will come up with a standard sooner or later. (probably later vs sooner) http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/gentoolkit/trunk/src/genpkgindex/genpkgindex it generates output like the following. http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/hardened/x86/Packages -- Ned Ludd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gentoo Linux -- [email protected] mailing list
