I have written that already: can you provide a SHA512 identity of the |
| 7 |
file? "The same tarball" is not really sufficient. |

In general, though, for Gentoo-produced distfiles the archive _will_ |
| 10 |
have to host the files, even if Git provides an "easy" way to deal with |
| 11 |
that. |

GitHub _used_ to be broken and provide non-stable downloads, but they |
| 19 |
have since fixed that and the download of a tag will always have the |
| 20 |
same SHA512 digest, so it's just fine. |
