For Perl, in ::gentoo , its considered not too optimal to have backpan listed as a mirror, and its unnesscary, as ::gentoo gets to mirror everything on cpan anyway, so that there's no problem when upstream delete the version gentoo is using from cpan. But in the overlay, we don't have the luxury of a mirror, so we have backpan listed as a mirror for when cpan deletes a release. diff <( grep cpan /var/paludis/repositories/perl-git/profiles/thirdpartymirrors ) <( grep cpan /usr/portage/profiles/thirdpartymirrors ) 1c1 < cpan http://search.cpan.org/CPAN http://cpan.hexten.net/ http://cpan.cpantesters.org http://www.cpan.org http://backpan.perl.org --- > cpan http://search.cpan.org/CPAN http://www.cpan.org So here, it would be nicer if we could simply specify new mirrors instead of having to override the whole thing. -- Kent
