Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I've tried to dig through our policy documents, to find the policy |
| 4 |
regarding RESTRICT=mirror/fetch. I don't find anything in the htdocs |
| 5 |
tree from CVS, beyond a few brief mentions in the handbook. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
RESTRICT=[no]fetch |
| 8 |
------------------ |
| 9 |
Should be used if the license prohibits unattended/automated download |
| 10 |
(eg click-through licenses), or the upstream author wants all downloads |
| 11 |
to be manually done from their site (I know of at least one package |
| 12 |
where this is true). |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
RESTRICT=[no]mirror |
| 15 |
------------------- |
| 16 |
- Files too large for the mirrors? (What is the size limit?) |
| 17 |
- License issues? |
| 18 |
- anything else? |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Unless there is something I've missed, why do we have ebuilds with |
| 21 |
RESTRICT=nomirror, having a GPL-2 license, and distributed via |
| 22 |
sourceforge? Wouldn't RESTRICT=primaryuri be much better? Most fetches |
| 23 |
would go to SF first, and we'd still have a copy available on our |
| 24 |
mirrors. |
