I just wanted to write here a clarification regarding self-produced
distfiles, such as patchset tarballs, SCM snapshots and the like. Some
people seem under the impression that the correct way to host these is
to use mirror://gentoo/ and copy them on /space/distfiles-local on
dev.g.o. Please don't do this.
If you produced the file yourself, and it doesn't matter if the file is
reproducible (unless it is reproducible to sha512 identity), please use
the public_html directory in your dev.gentoo.org home to host these.
http://devmanual.gentoo.org/general-concepts/mirrors/index.html claims
that dev.gentoo.org is not acceptable for hosting main-tree items, and
they must be moved to mirror://gentoo before release.
Maybe putting a clarification there too would help in avoiding confusion
regarding this issue.
