man portage(5) says: |
| 21 |
Whenever portage encounters a mirror:// style URI it will look up the |
| 22 |
actual hosts here. If the mirror set is not found here, it will check |
| 23 |
the |
| 24 |
global mirrors file at /var/db/repos/gentoo/profiles/thirdpartymirrors. |
| 25 |
You may also set a special mirror type called "local". This list of |
| 26 |
mirrors will be checked before GENTOO_MIRRORS and will be used even if the |
| 27 |
package has RESTRICT="mirror" or RESTRICT="fetch". |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
We have a bunch of existing mirror types (as you noticed). This lets us do |
| 30 |
things like "mirror://github" and then globally change the uri for github |
| 31 |
easily without editing the entire set of ebuilds because we late-bind the |
| 32 |
URI matching. |

I don't understand how you could arrive at this conclusion. What would this |
| 41 |
do? |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
RESTRICT=mirror is for things we are not legally allowed to mirror. That's |
| 44 |
basically all its for; it has nothing to do with custom mirrors or anything. |
