[12:13:24] <robbat2> zmedico: as a priority, can portage team get emerge-webrsync to include IP addresses for distfiles.g.o in the output
[12:13:35] <robbat2> we've got some hard-to-reproduce reports
[12:13:43] <robbat2> where we can't figure out which mirror it came from

Comment 2 Michael 'veremitz' Everitt 2020-04-21 21:24:44 UTC

Somewhat related, but admittedly tangential, can we get rsync hostnames as well as their IP addresses for emerge --sync/emaint-sync. I feel that these functions should be clear and consistent, both for user and developer.

Back on-topic: ideally, targets for distfiles.g.o probably should be looked up and displayed after/with their IP address? It would be easy, then, to spot inconsistent mirrors.
