Thanks for the heads up. I was not aware of this when I was looking for a solution badly back then. Must be a rather recent development. Looks easy and straightforward - even deleting is possible. Good job, guys :) Still the developer needs to know about it and think of it in the moment of adding mirror restrictions to an ebuild with mirror://gentoo sources. A risk that is not going to be taken in any of my ebuilds. I hope the people that prefer mirror://gentoo know about the issue and the solution :) Thanks, Stefan -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
