Description Gavin 2005-01-03 19:54:51 UTC

Many people block all network traffic from/to ValueClick.
ValueClick is listed on various ad-blocking / spam-blocking blacklists.

I strongly suggest using a different CPAN mirror, or conform to the traditional Gentoo method of mirroring relevant sources.

Expected Results:  
I expected Gentoo ebuilds to avoid using hosts/mirrors associated with companies
that frequently appear on spam/ad blacklists.

Gavin,

We are in the process of changing perl ebuilds to use mirror: instead of a specific url -it's just a slow process. Will work on this as we can.

Comment 3 Gavin 2005-01-18 15:55:50 UTC
