Chris, could you give an actual example where this request makes sense? For the record, portage fetch order for mirror://gentoo files is: - GENTOO_MIRRORS - local in /etc/portage/mirrors - gentoo in /etc/portage/mirrors - gentoo in $PORTDIR/thirdpartymirrors so if mirrorselect sets both GENTOO_MIRRORS and /etc/portage/mirrors::gentoo to the same servers portage will simply try the same locations twice. Unless of course there is an ebuild with mirror://gentoo and mirror restriction, but that would be a contradiction somehow.

Funny that you mention this. We have a few of them in games. One example is games-rpg/nwn-data. (In reply to comment #2) > Starting with which portage version? I'm just curious. As long as I can remember, so at least 2.0.50. I guess we don't need this, then. |
