Subject: [gentoo-dev] several ebuilds contains RESTRICT="nomirror"

1 Is there any reason why many packages are using RESTRICT="nomirror"?
2 This prevents one from using not just official gentoo mirrors but localy
3 ones also, which turns out to be a very bad thing if one has no leased
4 line or very limited bandwith.
5 There are quite a few packages are affected (in total 518 ebuilds in 227
6 different categories), which might be a overlooked "feature" when moving
7 them from bugzilla to CVS in some cases. There might be
8 licence-restrictions also...

10 Any way to force the use of a (local) mirror in such cases?
