7 With the new Portage 1.6.3, you only need the gentoo-sources. Get your
8 mirroring script going, and then set up a web browser so that the sources
9 can be found at:
10
11 http://foo.bar.com/gentoo/distfiles
12
13 Then, add this line to the appropriate make.conf files:
14
15 GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://foo.bar.com/gentoo"
16
17 Note that GENTOO_MIRRORS must specify an ftp or http mirror. rsync is
18 not supported.
