Thank you for your clarification. So what happens when RESTRIC=mirror is used inside ebuild for an overlay in git.gentoo.org? So, thinking on site reliability, should it be a good choice to upload the necessary tar.gz, for example, to gitlab or github community services using git lfs as an alternative to "https://dev.gentoo.org/";?
