I'm afraid you missed the point here then :) emerge -pf will pull from the |
| 7 |
gentoo mirrors if the tarball is there before trying the actual path in the |
| 8 |
SRC_URI of the ebuild. My point was to look and see what ebuilds could only |
| 9 |
survive *because* there was a cached copy on the mirror. So if tomorrow the |
| 10 |
mirrors are all wiped out because the |
| 11 |
anti-mirror-new-year's-day-massacre occurs (please, please, that is a |
| 12 |
joke) we have a heads up that there will be at least a few ebuilds that will |
| 13 |
simply stop working - or at least a few versions (foo-1.2 vs foo-2.0). |
