6 yes, that would work, the only thing is to create a system
7 for people to get upload permissions wich is both easy enough
8 to allow many people to do the the uploads, and has some

13 just get it with rsync like you can get single ebuilds currently:
14 rsync rsync://cvs.gentoo.org/gentoo-x86-portage/sys-kernel/linux-sources/linux-sources-2.4.18.ebuild .
15 you can also browse the rsync server like
16 rsync rsync://cvs.gentoo.org/gentoo-x86-portage/
17 of course ftp would be easier for this.
