Unfortunately, sys-cluster/charm has RESTRICT="fetch" turned on. 
Is it possible to move patches to the mirrors while preventing the
source tarballs from being fetched?

Thanks,
Markus

Just putting mirror://gentoo in SRC_URI should work fine. The restriction just
means it doesn't check Gentoo mirrors prior to what's in SRC_URI.

Well, you could still do the mirror://gentoo thing for the patch and tell the
user to manually fetch it as well. Might be worth checking whether portage will
resolve the SRC_URI location to an actual URL.

Thanks, Donnie! That's what I did.

Argh, sorry - I committed this yesterday, and didn't notice the filesize of the
patch. I'm waiting for the patch to propagate through our mirroring system
until I commit the fixed ebuild from my overlay.

In addition to large patches, will you address also the problem of too many

20 megabyte of files). They are about 7% of the portage tree.
