Some of it's in the "not policy" documents: http://www.firedrop.org.uk/devmanual/general-concepts/mirrors/ Contributions welcomed if someone knows exactly what the rules are :) | RESTRICT=[no]mirror | ------------------- | - Files too large for the mirrors?

That's a fairly recent feature, however. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Shell tools, Fluxbox, Cron) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
