Would it be possible to run a service that sends a 302 for the distfiles/foo-1.tar.gz to the appropriate bucket such that manual fetching doesn't require to calculate the hash? I prototyped this myself for distfiles.prefix, and seems like a nice guesture for at least the transition period? Thanks, Fabian -- Fabian Groffen Gentoo on a different level
