Good job, guys :) I added whitelist over 18 months ago... not a new feature, although infra finally updated the documentation to finally be accurate :) And correcting vapier in this email, mirror-dist has been running the show since around 04/05 - 05/05; not june/july of this year... > Still the developer needs to know about it and think of it in the moment of > adding mirror restrictions to an ebuild with mirror://gentoo sources. A > risk that is not going to be taken in any of my ebuilds. Whitelist protects files that have a long term (> 2 weeks) refcount of 0; freebsd stages being the usual example [1]. mirror restricted ebuilds that have mirror://gentoo/ (and just mirror://gentoo/) have a refcount of 1, thus they do *not* need to be whitelisted. In general, ebuild maintainers have no valid reason to be screwing with whitelists unless they're doing stages, or (odd case) need to ensure a file is on mirrors for test purposes, mirrorselect in this case. Thats a polite way of saying the impolite "stick random crap in the whitelist, and I'll make a dev cut off your balls" :) Whitelist totally bypasses all measures to keep the mirror image at a sane size; it's intended strictly for material that is *not* ref'd by an ebuild, and has a *valid* reason to be in the mirror tier. Short version: if you're not a stage monkey, you shouldn't be touching whitelists. > I hope the people that prefer mirror://gentoo know about the issue and the > solution :) Think you need to lay out other reasons... thus far you seem to be forgetting about a change *you* forced through. ~harring [1] http://dev.gentoo.org/~zmedico/infra/distfiles/failure.xml#doc_chap6 pgpGJQMKZ7aZ1.pgp Description: PGP signature
