It grabs the sources from wherever they are specified (SRC_URI) in the ebuild. I just tried it and it worked for me: virtual-appliance # emerge --fetchonly gentoo-sources Calculating dependencies... done! >>> Fetching (1 of 1) sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.0.6 >>> Downloading 'http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles/linux-3.0.tar.bz2' --2011-11-27 12:15:37-- http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles/linux-3.0.tar.bz2 Resolving distfiles.gentoo.org... 216.165.129.135, 64.50.233.100, 64.50.236.52, ...
