Am I right, the source of "downloaded source code archives" are: projects web-resources (SRC_URI in ebuilds) and/or GENTOO_MIRRORS (if it was impossible to download from SRC_URI)? --Vazhnov (talk) 00:51, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
- Wiki is not really the place to ask such questions, forums or IRC are the right places for support questions... That said, I will answer. It is the other way around. Unless told otherwise with, Portage uses GENTOO_MIRRORS first (to alleviate load on upstream project resources and for other reasons). SRC_URI values will be used only when specified via
FEATURES="mirror"
in /etc/portage/make.conf. Hope this helps. --Maffblaster (talk) 02:15, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for double checking on that, Brian Evans (grknight) . From reading the docs I understood mirror would download from SRC_URL only... perhaps man make.conf should be clarified. Here's what it says "mirror: Fetch everything in SRC_URI regardless of USE settings, except do not fetch anything when mirror is in RESTRICT." Is that misleading, or just me? --Maffblaster (talk) 19:06, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
