I hope this isn't a stupid question...but can we safely assume that all |
| 2 |
such google code SRC_URI's have *already* been mirrored? |

If I understand the mirrors correctly, they serve as a sort of cache of |
| 5 |
sorts of upstream distfile sources. Is there such a thing as a "cache |
| 6 |
miss" that could lead to a 404 if the mirrors themselves have to fetch from |
| 7 |
a dead upstream they've never fetched from before? |
