I feel like our git tags are quite durable, particularly when they are signed tags as Seb makes. If gentoo has a way to check git tag signatures then you can be assured you have the right source code, more than if you download a tar file from a http service.
For a specific release series (e.g. 2.7.x) a Debian dists location will be consistent for a tar file, but the distributions supported will change e.g. from 2.6 to 2.7. so you would need to adjust the URL pattern every few releases. so if working from tar files is the preferred way for gentoo it seems we should have an official source distribution directory that is not tied to a specific Debian or Ubuntu release codename. Seb, any thoughts?
