And to reply to myself - its a licensing issue since we cannot mirror the distfile. However, I hardly find that "facist" - my own opinion, others vary of course - the main issue is simply that the download won't be available - if you even throw out the licensing issue of not mirroring, have you tried to install 2006.0 lately? (Yes, I know 2007.0 is out) - you can't even do a 2006.0 install if you use the portage and stage3 tarballs from the cd because those distfiles are no longer available. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
