And to reply to myself - its a licensing issue since we cannot mirror |
| 20 |
the distfile. However, I hardly find that "facist" - my own opinion, |
| 21 |
others vary of course - the main issue is simply that the download won't |
| 22 |
be available - if you even throw out the licensing issue of not |
| 23 |
mirroring, have you tried to install 2006.0 lately? (Yes, I know 2007.0 |
| 24 |
is out) - you can't even do a 2006.0 install if you use the portage and |
| 25 |
stage3 tarballs from the cd because those distfiles are no longer |
| 26 |
available. |
