Greetings! |

The RESTRICT="nomirror" flag should only be used in the case where it is |
| 4 |
illegal for Gentoo to redistribute a package via our mirror network |
| 5 |
(such as commercial packages). There should be very few exceptions to |
| 6 |
this rule-of-thumb. |

|
| 8 |
Keep in mind that anytime you set this flag on a package, people who |
| 9 |
rely on a distfile mirror as their only source of Gentoo packages will |
| 10 |
not get the package. This is common in many cases where Gentoo is being |
| 11 |
used inside a private network that utilizes a local distfile mirror on |
| 12 |
the inside of that network. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
If you have this flag set on any ebuild and we can legally distribute |
| 15 |
that package, please remove that restriction. |
