the ebuild misuses the mirror as SRC_URI See also: https://devmanual.gentoo.org/general-concepts/mirrors/ ========================== Suitable Download Hosts If you have to host a source file (patch or tarball) yourself, as long as it is suitable to be distributed by Gentoo Foundation (by license and legality), you're suggested to use your developer's space at dev.gentoo.org. Since external overlays may depend on your patches/tarballs, using the dev space at dev.gentoo.org keeps the distfiles at a stable and reliable infrastructure. If you retire, other developers can take over your distfiles and place them into their own devspace. Previous policy was to use mirror://gentoo directly, but this is now deprecated, as that wouldn't allow to have long-term availability and traceability of the source files, which might be a requirement of the license.
