Whatever came of comment #14 of bug 28806 - That is something along the |
2 |
lines of what i'd like to see. In my own network, I have a central |
3 |
server with its /usr/portage/distfiles available locally by anonymous |
4 |
ftp. This way, my local mirror has any file used on itself (or |
5 |
prefetched for my other workstations by way of an emerge --fetchonly). |
6 |
So, I do have files on this machine that should be checked first, |
7 |
regardless of whether a build is marked "nomirror". For any network that |
8 |
has local repositories either ftp/nfs/samba/whatever could find that |
9 |
useful too. Lists of other groups of mirrors (sourceforge, etc) are also |
10 |
good things to allow customization on. Its just my luck to want some |
11 |
huge source that it tries to get from a slow sourceforge mirror on the |
12 |
other side of the world... |
