If the latter it is a problem. > Well, as far as I'm concerned, the primary repository for Gentoo is the one on my PC, because that is the only one I actually directly commit to. For the typical user, the primary repository is whatever tarball they last webrsync'ed from, since that is the one containing all the bugs they're currently suffering through. The whole concept of a "primary repository" is somewhat diminished these days. :) But, sure, in general I'd prefer if something hosted by infra is up-to-date. One of the challenges is that infra is only staffed to do so much, and it seems like everybody wants to do far more. It doesn't help that a lot of the fancier stuff tends to be harder to maintain on servers, although I'm not sure if that is because we tend to update them in place (I am not a professional sysadmin, but the ones I talk to seem to avoid doing that much these days). -- Rich
