Excerpt from the official site: "BerliOS Developer is a free service to Open Source developers offering easy access to the best in CVS/SVN, mailing lists, bug tracking, message boards/forums, task management, site hosting, permanent file archival, full backups, and total web-based administration."
To summarise the above sentence, it is a service similar to SourceForge. Although BerliOS currently has only three mirrors, this would most probably change as the number of projects hosted by BerliOS increases. As of writing this email, BerliOS is hosting 4842 projects. There are 206(?) files being fetched from BerliOS by ebuilds in the tree. This was counted per ebuild, not per package. The proposed mirror name is 'berlios' and the three mirrors are: - http://download.berlios.de - http://download2.berlios.de - ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub Something along the lines of mirror://berlios/${PN}/${P}.tar.bz2 can be used in SRC_URI. I'm sure all of you understand that not much work would be necessary for the the transition as it can occur over time, for example when package maintainers modify an ebuild. So, what do you folks think? -- David Shakaryan GnuPG Public Key: 0x4B8FE14B
