How to download nouveau source in selected directory with Portage? I would like to download Nouveau source code. There is an `x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau` ebuild, but I don't want to install it(downloading is okay though). Let's say that I want to install it into `~/nouveau-src/`. Is there a way to do it with `Portage`?

Try: `emerge --fetchonly x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau`
The file should be in `/usr/portage/distfiles/`
