1 I guess your answer was :
2 set up a source mirror over http.
3
4 I just set that up.
5 I guess i get on the list by reporting the new service on bugs.gentoo.org.
6 I will add it to the bug report of the server.
7
8 Now, i was able to take a look at the var you where talking about.
9 There are FTP servers int that VAR too.
10
11 Does that means that you dont have to set up an http source mirror ?
12 or is emerge-webrsync syncing over the ftp source mirrors too ?
13
14 ---- i have asked you that question in the last mail...
15
16 my questions were so simple.
17 There is emerge-webrsync which makes people behind a firewall able to sync
18 there portrage tree.
19 How do I have to set the mirror server in order to offer that ?
20 How do I get onto the list of the servers which offer that?
21
22 the answer would have been
23
24 set up any kind of source mirror ( ftp or http )
25
26 I just try to get that right, just in case anybody searche the thread for
27 simluar information.
28
29 You have to keep in mind that there are mirrors which are only mirroring
30 gentoo and not use it on there machines. Its important for them to know HOW
31 to set up the mirror, not which information is stored where on the client box.
32 or how you are able to maniuplate those settings.
