Topic: Source of packages ?

Hello,

I would like to try to compil everything, but I would love to not download the sources I already got (in /usr/portage/distfiles as I use gentoo).
Is there an easy way to "tell" the toolchain to first look under /usr/portage/distfiles to see if the needed files are there, and if not fetch them there ?

Thank you !

Save the contents of the download directory in the buildroot:

dl/

Or symlink dl to /usr/portage/distfiles ?

Thank you very much, I'll try smile
