And rewritten for clarity: |

1. developer creates an ebuild which needs a patch |
| 4 |
2. SRC_URI="mirror://gentoo/patchname http://patches.gentoo.org/patchname" |
| 5 |
3. Uploads files to dev.gentoo.org:/space/distfiles-local |

4. developer commits ebuild(s) to cvs |

Infra notes: |

Immediate availability via the "secondary" host while the primary |
| 11 |
host has yet to receive the files. Once the file is present on the |
| 12 |
primary mirrors it may be deleted from the secondary. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Ensuring that the patch host is not the primary mirror will be a |
| 15 |
concern, but a script can be devised to ensure duplication of |
| 16 |
the patchname and that a primary mirror is listed prior to it. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
The host for the files should not be accessable for any reason |
| 19 |
except direct filename downloads. No listings (to discourage |
| 20 |
setting it as a mirroring source). |
