And I found it. It is in the devmanual after all, just under different |
| 20 |
wording. I was searching for "distfiles", when I should have been looking |
| 21 |
at the "Mirrors" section. Looks like we do have some behind-the-scenes |
| 22 |
magic that copies SRC_URI files from devspace straight to the mirrors. Just |
| 23 |
way too used to the /space/distfiles-local thing. |
