Beware: thirdpartymirrors doesn't really do anything useful for normal |
| 9 |
ebuilds in ::gentoo. The gentoo infrastructure will automatically mirror |
| 10 |
anything in SRC_URI unless you set RESTRICT=mirror -- and that's where |
| 11 |
most people will download them from -- so (for example) adding a bunch |
| 12 |
of extra thirdpartymirrors entries to ensure that the distfiles are |
| 13 |
accessible is counter-productive: everyone will get the stuff from the |
| 14 |
gentoo mirrors anyway, and you wind up with a bunch of dead entries in |
| 15 |
the thirdpartymirrors file (at least half of the entries in there right |
| 16 |
now are dead, and no one is ever going to clean them up because no one |
| 17 |
uses them). |
