Hi, I've tried to dig through our policy documents, to find the policy regarding RESTRICT=mirror/fetch. I don't find anything in the htdocs tree from CVS, beyond a few brief mentions in the handbook.
RESTRICT=[no]fetch ------------------ Should be used if the license prohibits unattended/automated download (eg click-through licenses), or the upstream author wants all downloads to be manually done from their site (I know of at least one package where this is true). RESTRICT=[no]mirror ------------------- - Files too large for the mirrors? (What is the size limit?) - License issues? - anything else? Unless there is something I've missed, why do we have ebuilds with RESTRICT=nomirror, having a GPL-2 license, and distributed via sourceforge? Wouldn't RESTRICT=primaryuri be much better? Most fetches would go to SF first, and we'd still have a copy available on our mirrors. -- Robin Hugh Johnson E-Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Home Page : http://www.orbis-terrarum.net/?l=people.robbat2 ICQ# : 30269588 or 41961639 GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85
