If we're just talking about doing this to make things like current portage |

source available, then I'd much rather look at generating tarballs and |

placing them on the mirrors, much like we do w/ the portage tree itself. |

It's no secret that I'm not a fan of pserver -- it's a security nightmare |
| 12 |
waiting to happen imo. (oh wait -- it's already happened...) The only way |

I'd feel reasonably comfortable about implementing it is if it was on its |
| 14 |
own machine, segregated from the rest of our network. |
