The verification doesn't cause a problem with a local mirror, it is just |
| 27 |
unnecessary. The computer hosting the mirror verifies each sync, doing |
| 28 |
so again is a waste of time. If someone were to gain root access to the |
| 29 |
mirror host, a corrupted portage tree would be the least of my |
| 30 |
worries :-O |
