'Cept standards for ebuilds is typically http/https/ftp access for fetching files- forcing pserver means people behind firewalls are screwed... which is why non standard uri that is generally accessible to users must be http/https/ftp, and if they aren't, upload the file to the mirrors. Ebuilds might work, don't think they qualify as valid though- assume initially it was easier to just copy the ebuild and lock the date; doesn't make it valid though. :) Should be an error imo- there isn't any real requirement for a cvs/git/darcs/subversion eclass consumer to be visible really. ~harring
