I've been thinking about this lately too. I think it would be a good |
| 11 |
idea to come up with as many different use cases as we can think of and |
| 12 |
figure out what we can already do, what we would like to do, and the |
| 13 |
best way to do it. |

- current pet peeve is some way of dealing with SRC_URI's that use |
| 22 |
dynamic redirects to the source files (eg. |
| 23 |
http://nwvault.ign.com/fms/Download.php?id=57167 -> |
| 24 |
http://someserver.com/randomlygeneratedhashthatchangeseveryhour/the_HeX_coda_01_v1.3.zip). |
| 25 |
Since the name of the file fetched (the_HeX_coda_01_v1.3.zip) != the |
| 26 |
one in SRC_URI (Download.php?id=57167) portage bombs. right now i have |
| 27 |
to use RESTRICT="fetch" which sucks. |
