please add RESTRICT="nomirror" to these ebuilds. Because of space constraints on our distfile mirrors, we don't generally mirror source tarballs for commercial (i.e. non-GPL) programs greater than 250MB
* games-fps/unreal-tournament Size of downloaded files: 9,071 kB * games-fps/unreal-tournament-bonuspacks Size of downloaded files: 35,337 kB * games-fps/unreal-tournament-goty Size of downloaded files: 9,184 kB * games-fps/unreal-tournament-infiltration Size of downloaded files: 233,857 kB * games-fps/unreal-tournament-strikeforce Size of downloaded files: 428,539 kB the mods are what violate the 250meg limit but they are 'free' ... no they arent GPL-ed, but who GPL-s a mod ?
It's an imperfect solution, I agree. However, those files also take up a disproportionate amount of our mirror space and make it difficult to release other things like experimental livecds, etc. Outside of files for commercial games, we have no files in our tree that are over 180MB. We can leave them for now, but if/when our mirror admins start complaining again about the amount of mirror space we're taking up, we'll look to remove them at that point.
so you consider all modifications (even if they are free) to a base package that is commericial as commericial themselves ?
