Indeed, that is a great argument for the RESTRICT. I wonder how many |
| 13 |
packages do this? To get a quick idea, I did this grep: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
grep '\.zip' /usr/portage/*/*/*ebuild \ |
| 16 |
| grep -v -e http -e ftp -e mirror -e unpack -e SRC_URI -e unzip |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
It produced a reasonable number of results, and I didn't investigate |
| 19 |
further. |
