Honestly, we need a *mirrored and distributed* location for such things. It could easily be accessible from the shell box, but anything that resides on /home on toucan can not be considered safe. While the infrastructure staff does their best to ensure the data there, it is *our* responsibility to keep our own backups of everything there. In fact, there is GLEP15, which deals with this, specifically. > One particular example is my xorg.conf file, which I seem to get > requests for from time to time, when I mention that I have xorg running > xinerama on a dual-out Radeon 9200SE.

Again, toucan is *not* this place, as has been said many times by infrastructure. Anything on dev.gentoo.org should be considered transitive, as it can disappear at any time. A more permanent solution to this should be done, rather than relying on something that we have been told time and time again that we should *not* rely on. This being said, I'm pretty guilty of this myself, with one minor exception. I keep my own backups. :P > The form of the URLs such resources get make it quite clear that while > hosted on a gentoo server, they are in personal devspace/staffspace on > that server, so there should be little chance of confusion with "official= " > packages, particularly if there's a policy in place (I haven't seen one > but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist) to clearly mark any HTML formatte= d > anchor tags with non-obfuscated descriptions and URLs.
