Whenever portage encounters a mirror:// style URL it will look
up the actual hosts here. If the mirror set is not found here,
it will check the global mirrors file at /usr/portage/pro-
files/thirdpartymirrors. You may also set a special mirror type
called "local". This list of mirrors will be checked before
GENTOO_MIRRORS and will be used even if the package has
RESTRICT="nomirror".
Format:
- comments begin with #
- mirror type followed by a list of hosts
Example:
# local private mirrors used only by my company
local ftp://192.168.0.3/mirrors/gentoo http://192.168.0.4/distfiles
# people in japan would want to use the japanese mirror first
sourceforge http://keihanna.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge
# people in tawain would want to use the local gnu mirror first
gnu ftp://ftp.nctu.edu.tw/UNIX/gnu/
