Description Triffid Hunter 2007-01-14 01:09:58 UTC 
I nfs-mount /usr/portage (ro) and /usr/portage/distfiles (rw) from my storage server on all my machines.
I wrote an emerge-fetch script which checks /etc/portage/old/ (a symlink) before trying mirrors (moving if permitted, copying if not), so I can clean up unused downloads by moving everything to distfiles/old, then doing emerge -ef world on all my boxes.

I'm sure others could find numerous uses for a filesystem-based mirror uri.


Reproducible: Always

Dunno what you are after, but GENTOO_MIRRORS="/usr/portage/distfiles" works just fine...
Comment 3 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2007-01-14 19:46:50 UTC 
We need to document the filesystem mirrors functionality...
Comment 4 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2007-01-14 20:07:33 UTC 
I've added a note to make.conf.5 in svn r5644.
