Usage

Save this script as gentoo_get_offline.sh

and run:

chmod u+rx gentoo_get_offline.sh

./gentoo_get_offline.sh all packages you want

or

./gentoo_get_offline.sh -uD world

Finally you have this file /root/myfetch.sh or /root/myfetch.bat

Use this file to get these packages in another machine

NOTE: if you want to download on win32 boxes, you need wget.exe

and do:

copy wget.exe %systemroot%

Have Fun!
