IMHO, this is the best solution proposed so far. It doesn't need a new USE flag duplicating information which is already in RESTRICT (or am I missing some corner cases here?), and it doesn't bother those who don't care about this issue with new distfiles-*/ dirs, as with Kent's proposal. @Kent: Why do you think another distinction for RESTRICT=fetch is neccessary? If it really is, it could also be integrated into this solution, but I don't get the point -- either you're allowed to redistribute it, or you're not. RESTRICT=fetch just signals Portage that it won't be *technically* able to download the distfiles. Luis
