Hi, |

I want to suggest a little inprovement to portage: suppose that I've |
| 4 |
created my own ebuild for a package in PORTDIR_OVERLAY |
| 5 |
and suppose that no ebuild for this package is included in the |
| 6 |
Gentoo portage (in PORTDIR) |
| 7 |
Then for sure, the sources are not available in the Gentoo mirrors |
| 8 |
and portage should go directly to the original site (the |
| 9 |
SRC_URI from the ebuild) for fetching the source, since it is |
| 10 |
a waste of time try to access all the mirrors in GENTOO_MIRRORS |
| 11 |
when we know in advance that the sources are not there. |
| 12 |
There are two possible ways to implement this: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
- an emerge option like --skip-gentoo-mirrors |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
or |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
- that emerge checks in the PORTDIR if there is a package with the |
| 19 |
same name and version |
