21 Benda, nice to see you in this mailing list:-) Some days ago I read the
22 wiki page when I checked the tuna mirror site, I feel the steps described
23 in that wiki page is too complex, it separates the one-shot script into
24 multiple stages and thus highly depends on the internal implementation
25 of the script which the even the legacy gentoo-prefix manual bootstrap
26 guide doesn't describe, I feel my solution is much cleaner, but as you
27 said, maybe the author(Fabian?) has some special purpose to not align
28 with GENTOO_MIRRORS convention of emerge.
