It's a digest file, generated by portage. I'm sorry that it got so large; but it's not really something I can move to the mirrors.

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.

My bad, Ciaran pointed out that my suggestion works with nomirror, not fetch.

I'd welcome any suggestions as to how to best proceed in this case!

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 patches in filesdir? Right now there are about 8300 patches in filesdir (about 20 megabyte of files). They are about 7% of the portage tree.
