1 I've recently been thinking about how the heck we could implement a distfile
2 diff setup- I posted some of my thoughts on the forums (with no results so
3 far) at http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=46151 .
4
5 I'm still wondering how does a src (say afbackup) get transferred to the
6 gentoo distfile mirrors? Is this an automated process, or a transfer done by
7 somebody?

9 The way I see it, either we could end up w/ some semi-automated solution
10 that's handled by the servers (bad in my books), or the developer of the
11 specific ebuild would have to create the diffs.
12
13 If it's the developer who creates the diff, I need to know when/how a distfile
14 gets moved to the mirrors...
15 Anyone?
