Uhm. We did. PMS is worded very carefully to ensure that this all |
| 11 |
works. The only question is whether Portage's mirroring scripts are |
| 12 |
broken. Alec seems to think they are; I'm sceptical, because a) I |
| 13 |
pestered Zac about the issue really early on, and b) I strongly suspect |
| 14 |
we'd've seen the breakage by now if they were. |

I quote: |

| 22 |
In EAPIs supporting arrows, if an arrow is used, the filename used when |
| 23 |
saving to \t{DISTDIR} shall instead be the name on the right of the |
| 24 |
arrow. When consulting mirrors (except for those explicitly listed on |
| 25 |
the left of the arrow, if \t{mirror://} is used), the filename to the |
| 26 |
right of the arrow shall be requested instead of the filename in the |
| 27 |
URI. |
