Hola all.

So mirror-dist is ready to go, infra side of it being set for a final 
testing run then switching it live if things go fine after next 
weekend.

Why this matters- around 10,000 files out of 28,600 files will be 
removed from the mirrors network.  Either

A) no ebuild claims that distfile.  it's orphaned on our mirrors
B) RESTRICT="fetch" is set for the ebuild.  We don't mirror those 
   files.
C) RESTRICT="mirror" is set for the ebuild.  Again, we don't mirror 
   those files, in this case we defer to another network (I don't make 
   the rules, that's just how it's done)

Bugs may exist, but I'd suggest you take a hard look at the reasons 
above to verify it's actually a bug.  Should you find one, kindly 
email me.

A quicky report of flies that'll be ixnayed is available at 
http://dev.gentoo.org/~ferringb/failure.xml 
Sorry about the size, it'll come down after the 10,000 deletion is 
swallowed.  The deletion dates should be ignored.  They're accurate 
for the testing, but aren't the actual dates when the files will be 
removed from the mirrors (the deletion dates will be off till this is 
live).

Aside from that, kindly check the failed fetches on the list.  If one 
of your ebuilds is in that list, either no valid URI could be found, 
or you doffed the SRC_URI for it (mirror:// w/out a mirror has been 
common).

That's all.  Eat the pudding.
