Hello folks, |
2 |
as an effort to reduce the pain in the upcoming Gnome 2 final release |
3 |
stage well have a small transit period where we update the ebuilds to |
4 |
use the "new" mirror:// function for SRC_URI |
5 |
|
6 |
The reason is quite simple, when the Gnome 2 stuff moves around in the |
7 |
ftp servers for their final settlement we dont want to update 80+ |
8 |
packages with new revisions or versions. that would be a lot of |
9 |
unnecessary work for all parts involved, instead we're smoothly moving |
10 |
to the form: |
11 |
|
12 |
mirror://gnome/sources/${PN}/${P}.tar.bz2 |
13 |
|
14 |
and defining the "pre-gnome2" section in the mirror statement. |
15 |
this will allow a nice transit when the final release is done, and |
16 |
should prove useful for supporting the Gnome mirror systems (I'm going |
17 |
to update those as soon as I get an official list of them) |
18 |
|
19 |
|
20 |
please heed this when you update an ebuild where you find "pre-gnome2" |
21 |
in SRC_URI |
22 |
|

Regards, |
25 |
