No, I don't subscribe it, I don't know it forbids my emails.

I have subscribed it now, could you help to apply that patch to the
bootstrap-prefix.sh script?

Attach the patch and comment again, it's small, hope I didn't bother you much.

There is a little annoying issue in the bootstrap-prefix.sh script,
this script uses $GENTOO_MIRRORS/xxx.tar.gz to download
tar balls, but emerge uses $GENTOO_MIRRORS/distfiles/xxx.tar.gz,
so I can't use same mirror site for stage1/stage2/stage3 which makes
the bootstrap process very slow.

Thanks,
Yubao Liu

Side note, you can export GENTOO_MIRROR twice, as (in Chinese)

http://wiki.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/GentooPrefix

Fabian may give an explanation why the script is coded as such.

Cheers,

Benda, nice to see you in this mailing list:-) Some days ago I read the
wiki page when I checked the tuna mirror site, I feel the steps described
in that wiki page is too complex, it separates the one-shot script into
multiple stages and thus highly depends on the internal implementation
of the script which the even the legacy gentoo-prefix manual bootstrap
guide doesn't describe, I feel my solution is much cleaner, but as you
said, maybe the author(Fabian?) has some special purpose to not align
with GENTOO_MIRRORS convention of emerge.

Regards,
Yubao Liu

Yeah, you are right. Don't look at the steps in that wiki, which is outdated since the rewrite of bootstrap script.

I meant these two export may be used at different stages, replace mirror.tuna... with your favorite mirror.

export GENTOO_MIRRORS=http://mirror.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/gentoo/distfiles

...

export GENTOO_MIRRORS=http://mirror.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/gentoo

I think the patch would be ok, but we could also add "/distfiles" to
GENTOO_MIRRORS if it's not there yet, to reduce the necessary changes to
just 1 line.

Just to be clear on this one, I committed this, so your use-case should
work now.

Thanks
