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?

  • Start at Freedesktop - nouveau. Reconfiguring Libdrm is needed for KMS. Setting it and using --fetchonly will have no effect, as @cylgalad states

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

    This wants me to include "nouveau" in my VIDEO_CARDS so it can rebuild my libdrm. However, I don't want to, and I don't need to - I simply want to fetch the source.

  • Then, I'm afraid you have to download the sources manually. nouveau homepage

    --nodeps should fix that. I.e.: emerge --fetchonly --nodeps x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau
