I ran a quick check on our thirdpartymirrors file, and a few qmail mirrors came up dead: * http://qmail.cti.gr/ * http://qmail.cavsystems.net/ At the very least, those two should be removed from the list. In this case, though, I think there is a better option: there is an "official" download location for everything in the tree that is using mirror://qmail: * http://qmail.org/netqmail-1.06.tar.gz * http://qmail.org/big-todo.103.patch * http://qmail.org/queue-fix-todo.patch * http://qmail.org/ucspi-rss.diff Since we already mirror everything onto Gentoo infra, there's no real benefit to using the mirror:// construct over simply listing the qmail.org sources in SRC_URI. This is what the devmanual recommends at https://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/variables/index.html#third-party-mirrors If all of those mirror://qmail sources were switched to qmail.org, we could get rid of the entry in thirdpartymirrors and next time I won't have to check to see if any of them are dead :)
yes please
