Re: [gentoo-portage-dev] suggesting an improvement to portage

[Scott Taylor <security@303underground.com>]

RESTRICT="nomirror" can be added to your ebuild to do just that.

however, i would find use for a make.conf option where i could list
mirrors (or nfs mounts, etc) that would always be checked before gentoo
mirrors, sourceforge mirrors, ignoring the "nomirror" option...

If you look like your driver's license photo -- see a doctor.
