[gentoo-dev] distfiles whitelisting

[Brian Harring]

Just a friendly reminder, if you are placing files on the distfiles 
mirrors that are not claimed by an ebuild in the tree, you need to 
whitelist the files- just add the files to 
/space/distfiles-whitelist-current on dev.gentoo.org , and the files 
will be left alone for 6 months, or until they're removed from the 
whitelist file.

If you don't do this, the files _will_ be removed from the mirrors 
roughly a week after they hit the mirrors.  I've added the exemptions 
I could think of to make the transition smooth, but ultimately it's 
the uploaders responsibility.

Any questions, just give a yell.
