Could you clarify whether this is indeed a Gentoo QA issue, or in fact a
licensing issue? If the latter case, this discussion should prob'y go to
the new -project ml if and when, or indeed the user forums.
As for potentially useful, so was Internet Explorer, last time I
looked at
what you could do with its Object Model. I still ain't voting to bring it
to Gentoo.. ;)
It is neither a QA nor license issue, its an issue of the download being
unavailable. Please read the full thread.
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.
