I would like the p2p version to do pre-fetching of distfiles based on my |
| 13 |
current system/world contents and my currently synced tree. This means |
| 14 |
that the files are there when I start emerging, but it also means that |
| 15 |
the files will be seeded much more widely and quickly in the p2p |
| 16 |
network. |
