i am using my own private rsync and binhost, but when i try to emerge -gk gentoo-sources (which has a tbz2 on the binhost), it fails because portage tries to look for the gentoo-sources patch.tbz on the binhost. This shouldn't even be an issue because i'm emerging a binary and patching wont even be necessary, someone should patch portage to turn downloading of patches and other files off when using emerge -gk Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge -gk gentoo-sources 2. 3.
