I am preparing some home made ebuilds and I run "repoman manifest" as part of the process. repoman downloads the upstream tarball for the package from the SRC_URI location, but only after trying the distfiles directory on all servers in my PORTAGE_MIRRORS. This software is not packaged by gentoo, so this always fails and it amounts to a useless delay for me, and perhaps an annoyance for the servers. How can I disable it and make repoman go straight to the upstream location?
