| I know this has been covered before, but what is the problem with |

| putting files on dev.gentoo.org? The automatic scripts should suck it |
| 11 |
| into distfiles and portage should check mirrors before "upstream" (in |
| 12 |

Infra have politely (where by politely I mean "with threats of |
| 16 |
decapitation and feeding to the goats") asked us not to do this because |
